Pentagon finds $12.8 billion for Trump's border wall

[testsubjectalpha]

You mean Congress has appropriated money that has not been spent, for years, and now there are huge slush funds that a President can tap? Good post dude.

How is it that some conservatives and Trump claim the military is underfunded, yet it's acceptable to take $12.8 billion out of their budget to build a fence?

Do you have a link that proves that?

If it's true, I guess there's no need for increasing the militaries budget, right?

Of course the military spending is fungible. Noko isn't going to invade South Korea. Russia isn't going to invade Germany. Don't pretend to fight a war, save a trillion. But Iran nuking the West, that is their mission in life. I would spend my last dime to $#@! up these $#@!s.

The Defense Department has identified $12.8 billion in possible funding that it could use to fulfill President Trump's call for a border wall.

Sen. Jack Reed, D-R.I., released the 20-page spreadsheet on Twitter Monday night.


Trump last month declared a national emergency at the border, and said he wants to use $3.6 billion for border wall projects. The Pentagon's list said it has found possible funding sources that are "in excess of the amount needed."



But it's not clear which projects the Defense Department will draw from. Some states that have been allocated big chunks of money that haven't been spent could see a hit.

California, for example, was identified as having more than $700 million in unused Army and Navy military construction that could be used. Hawaii has more than $400 million that could be used.


More than $200 million in similar funding allocated for Hawaii, Maine, New York, North Carolina, Guam, Germany, Guam, and Guantanamo Bay Cuba are also on the list.



Reed warned in his tweet that "military bases in your state could be negatively impacted" by Trump's border emergency.

Well maybe they found some of what they were found to have lost on 9/10/2001?

don't be a cabbage head. Russia and China have embraced free markets. N. Korea, Kim is a preprogrammed dope, a lost cause. But the mullahs of Iran, these fockers don't care, they want nukes because they want to use them.

Begin by taking money from the most anti-American States, California, new York, Washington, and Hawaii.

sigh. I don't see any hope for you!

Yea. The states that host all these military bases.

The South and Texas has a lot of those bases. We really don't need all those bases; they are a vestige of WWII and the Cold war!

Trump's best buddy Putin would never attack us!

A guy from California referring to someone else as a nut job based on his state of residence? Too funny.
