So that would be $13.9bn for 315 miles, or ~$44m/mil. The DHS memo a month ago implied ~$7m/mi and in another section $16m/mi. Obviously the cost per mile is going to very by area, but that's a heck of a range, and blows out of the water per/mile construction costs for things more technically complex. Given what ought to be extremely heightened concerns about corruption -- grifters love procurement -- you'd think maybe we'd get some coverage of this. Media can hardly bother to point out that $5.7bn isn't enough to build the whole thing. It's not going to get built, but IF it were to be built it would surely be some of the most wasteful spending in the history of the country.Comment

Let's make President Dumbass the First Food Taster. Hopefully he'll find all the bad stuff on day one.

That missing girl from Barron, WI was found about 30 miles from where I live. You just never know...I'll let you ban hate speech when you let me define hate speech.

Good on 139 Texan Republicans, thank you for doing what's right. FOAD to 49 dirtbags (probably all Trump supporters).

The GoFundMe account which raised $20 M to build The Wall is shutting down having fallen well short of its goal of $1 Billion. That means everyone gets refunds...except the account Founder is attempting to have folks redirect their refund towards the creation of a brand new "non-profit" called We Build the Wall, Inc.
