re: New Orleans levee improvements = $4B; Trump border wall only $1.5B?

Wall estimates are about $20B. The $1.5B is a 'down payment.'
Trump can't find $20B and Mexico won't pay for it so this is his way of getting it started. Once it's started, we have to finish it.

That part of your post is correct.

The GAO wrote in December that the LCS “raises a basic oversight question. Does a program that costs twice as much but delivers less capability than planned still warrant an additional investment of nearly $14 billion?”
Not doubling down on GWB's and Obama's wasteful wonder weapons that aren't as good as the weapons they are replacing, would be a great place to start looking for $$$.

1. Mexico will pay one way or another.
2. WTF do you mean we can't stop? Trump could always delay the permits just like the Corp did with the Ms River diversion channels.
