Also for reference, our annual budget is over $4 trillion. By my math, the $5 billion for the wall would be 0.00125% of federal expeditures for the year

ETA: math wrong - should be 0.125%

Also, for reference, for the 95,672,000 of us (55.6% of wage earners) that actually pay taxes, that represents an additional tax burden of $52 each for the year.

You forgot to multiply by 100%

That calculation is 0.125%
