Democrats in the House of Representatives are urging Defense Secretary Jim Mattis to pull-the-plug on President Trump’s $450m border wall project; directly asking the Pentagon boss to abandon the military-funded barrier in Arizona.
So now it has to come out of the military’s budget??? What happened to Mexico paying for it???
Wait!
Was it not during the last administration that military funding was cut drastically, number of military was down, bases closed? How unique that now the Dems are concerned that… “It is utterly irresponsible and appalling that President Trump wants to take away funding for military readiness and infrastructure in order to spend it on his border wall,” Smith said in a statement. “We are trying to ensure that our men and women in uniform have the facilities and training they need to face serious dangers while defending our country. If Secretary Mattis follows through on this request, it would undermine those efforts.”
Where was Smith during the military lean years of 2008 - 2016?
Most convenient!
