Is anyone here dumb enough to think the Wall costs $12.5M a mile?

To those of you who think that is feasible, I give you a simple challenge. Go find a contractor and ask them if they'd build a wall with concrete and brick with these dimensions:
30 feet tall
10 feet wide
1 mile long
12.5 million dollars, and additional miles out in the middle of nowhere on top of that.
You know what I bet their response will be: frick No! I doubt they'd do it for under 20 million a mile. You'd have to start at 25 million if not 30 for a competent contractor to even consider it. And let's not think about buying property from private citizens on top of that.
Do any of y'all still not see why the Wall is an insanely stupid idea? It's the dumbest waste of tax payer money since the War in Iraq.

Obama and Hillary voted for it

How many times do you have to be told that we are not paying for it? Mexico will pay for this wall one way or another.

Well then that doesn't make it ok. They're stupid as well on this issue of what you're saying is true.

The dems approved this wall years ago.

But the reality is that no, they won't.

Why do you care how Mexico money will be spent
Posted on 1/25/17 at 8:36 pm to OMLandshark
Some here are dumb enough to think it will actually be built.
Posted on 1/25/17 at 8:36 pm to OMLandshark
Average concrete cost is $90 per cubic yard. That comes out to 4.2 mil per mile for concrete.
Throw in rebar, labor and machine gun nests and 12.5 mil per mile is actually over budget.
MAGA!

I think it will be built with Mexican money and it will be awesome.

If that were the case then sure. But Mexico isn't paying for the wall. If we start a trade war we pay for the wall three times over. Fiscally conservative people you would think could grasp that you don't get shite for free.

No, frick you. The "wall" isn't going to be constructed with anything close to the specs you just stated. So your figures are fake news. frickin DEMwits spin the facts however you want them to sound. fricking leeches.

I think the ironic thing is it will be built by Mexicans. Most masons around here are Mexicans.

Yeah, that's all you retards have to retort to what I'm saying. It's just "melt" or "cuck" or "SJW".
Seriously, find contractor who will do the job for what Trump proposing. If you remotely think it through, the price he's proposing is completely unfeasible. No one will do it for that price. That doesn't come close to covering the brick, concrete, steel, land, or labor that would come with it.
Come back at me with facts that don't involve "melt" or "cuck". Tell me where I'm wrong that no contractor would do this project for what Trump is proposing.

They won't write a check but in some form or fashion Mexico will pay for it.
Posted on 1/25/17 at 8:40 pm to OMLandshark
We're not asking them to build 1 mile of wall
