House passes spending bill with $1.6B for Trump’s border wall | New York Post
quote:It has been a done deal but I don't think the democrats want their base to know.
The U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill Thursday that will provide $1.2 trillion to fund the government past Sept. 30, and will allocate $1.6 billion towards President Donald Trump’s border wall.
The legislation gives $658.1 billion to the Department of Defense, $44.3 billion for the Department of Homeland Security and allocates the rest of the money towards other federal agencies. The bill lops all 12 annual spending bills into two one piece of legislation.
If Congress failed to act by the Sept. 30 deadline, portions of the government would be forced to shut down and all non-essential government employees will forgo payment until they reached an agreement. The bill now makes its way to the Senate for approval.
The House passed another measure in July which provided $790 billion for defense, homeland security and infrastructure projects. The July bill also included $1.6 billion for physical barriers to be constructed along the southern U.S.-Mexico border.

I just saw an ABC news article saying NO WALL, Trump makes false promises with a BS survey monkey type poll saying people don't want the wall...

There's no way they can build a 1500 mile wall for 1.6 billion.
Posted on 9/15/17 at 8:21 am to cajunangelle
Probably spend billions on consultants, prototypes and maybe even a small piece of wall before realizing it's futile.
Waste of money.

I was never even worried about it. My President told me not to worry.

Plus one for Trump!!!

$1.4 billion here, $1.6 billion there...pretty soon we'll total up to $12 to $15 billion...what it takes to build the wall.

We were told it will cost btw 1o-15 billion, now they allocating 1.5 billion??
Sounds like fixing an existing fence.
I believe it when I see a real wall.

Ugh. Just when I was about to give Trump credit for succumbing to reason.
Oh well.

From DC Whispers.
quote:
The media hasn’t mentioned it much because it proves that Donald Trump is decisively outmaneuvering the opposition Republicans. The tactic was simple. Mr. Trump reached out to Democrats with a basic “can we get something done for the American people?” request. This put enormous pressure on Paul Ryan and his cadre of obstructionist Republicans to start moving on at least some of the Trump agenda.
This is Ryan buckling under that pressure. This is Ryan conceding the power of Trump and the millions of Trump supporters have forced his hand. There was certainly some DACA negotiation behind the scenes – as well as Trump’s demand for real tax relief for Middle Class Americans and American business. After about six months settling in and figuring out the angles of the D.C. snake pit, Trump is unleashing an Art of the Deal offense upon the opposition and they appear unable to stop him – at least for now.
Every single POTUS Trump supporter who raised a voice in support of their president helped to push Speaker Ryan to bend the knee. Keep it up. You have real power and you’re scaring the hell out of Washington D.C.

$1.6 billion is a very nice start.
