Thread title is fake news.
you are correct, the proposal is for an 800 million dollar cut
likely to be rejected by the congress (whew)
soo lets see.... his proposal...
cutting food stamps, cuz, well, the poor don't need em
Medicaid, cuz, well, old people don't get sick and usually have plenty of money too
but the pentagon needs more money.. and we gotta build that wall, cuz, well, brown people are baaaaad..
oh, and that military... we should add money to that budget. So we can go fuck shit up, But cut foreign aid, cuz, well, the only thing foreign countries deserve, is artillery, not money
that all makes perfect sense to me.
oh, and speaking of that wall... you know the one that mexico was gonna pay for?
yea, that one..
so lets say that he does get mexico to pay for it, via tax tariffs for goods, well, I often wonder if Trump has even the most basic rudimentary understanding on how shit works...
whats a tariff exactly? well, shit, a tariff is an added tax that is paid by the consumer of said goods..
so... to make sure I am understanding him correctly.. mexico is gonna pay for the wall using a tax tariff that AMERICAN consumers will have to pay on Mexican imports... sooo... who's paying for what now?
hmmm... now... I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed, but the way I look at that is it seems to me, that WE will be the ones paying for it..
I mean, am I missing something else here?
so essentially he is gonna build a wall, that lets face it, ain't gonna do it's job, if ya build a 65 foot wall, well, shit, the hardware stores in mexico are gonna start selling 70 foot ropes
see my point?
anyways, i digress.. back to the budget proposal... annnd "The Wall"...
well if his proposed budget did get approved, he budgeted a billion dollars towards that wall, which i'm not sure how tall that one billion dollars will get that wall, considering that even conservative estimates that even president Fucktard himself has it, is at a 8 billion dollar clip.. while the estimates for the people that actually
can do arithmetic have it closer to 21 billion dollars (U.S. Dpt of Homeland Security)
so I imagine we will be making a nice comprehensive wall considering the amount invested.
maybe it'll be enough to keep those damn
Mexican Infants from climbing the wall
ah, and I forgot to mention that the wall will take an estimated 3-5 yrs to build also, and at the current rate of whatever-the-fuck is
really goin on with the Russians and he damn well might not even be in office when the wall is even built, shit... maybe not even in office when they start at the rate he is going..
annnd even further still, when W.Bush built that 600 miles of border-walls back in 2006, it cost 2.4 billion dollars, and it is less in stature than what Trump wants, annnnnd it's only 600 miles.. Trump wants to build a 2000 mile wall, much of it along the friggin rivers.. which will totally be easy to build there, yea sure..
Hell the Berlin wall which is a mere 96 miles, cost 25 million dollars to build, and that was back in 1961, factor in inflation and that was 200 million or so in todays' cost.
for 96 miles.
but yea, that single billion dollars will totally cover the 2000 miles...
sure, to put it into perspective, there is 5280 ft in a mile, and his plan is for the 2000 miles, so even the most basic, basic, gradeschool math shows that you have roughly 10,560,000 ft to cover, using that basic gradeschool math lets take THAT number and, I don't know, lets factor in the amount he budgeted.. a billion dollars..
hmmmm...
lets just do the cheapest, cheapest, shitty 8 foot chain link fence for the 2000 miles, ok, well Regular chain link fencing can cost up to $20.00 per foot and thats for a simple 8 ft fence
on flat ground done by Bob's Discount Fence company.
On the Border a plain 8ft. chain link could cost $2,112,000,000
for a chain link, 8 foot, f e n c e.
yet another example of why our "leader" is simply incompetent
and we won't even factor in the cost of patrolling that 2000 mile fence, even if a single border patrol cop could cover an entire mile, that's still 2000 border patrol cops.. at roughly 50-65k a yr?
that's easily over his wall-budget right there. and we allll know the border patrol can't even come close to patrolling an entire mile alone.
and lets not forget, that's for a single YEAR of patrolling..
he just is very clearly an idiot.
And those that don't see this obscenely obvious show of his intellectual ineptitude are clearly along with him as intellectual peers in that regard.
in all honesty, as much as what he is doing is concerning and it's a real good display of his consideration of the general public (or lack thereof), but the thing that really concerns me is his "little-dick" syndrome, between him and kim jong yun..
the planet doesn't need two fractious nuclear-capable juveniles trying to measure they infantile-sized genitalia via nuclear threats
the shit they have said about their nukes is a lil freaky... almost like they don't fully understand how a thermonuclear weapon works, or what would happen..
man, tell you what, If I lived in seoul korea? (oh, just around ten fuckin million people live there btw)
well i'd be shitting my pants regularly..
they are like 35 miles away from the north Korean border...
I fuckin commute to my shop further than that
