Apparently this was started by an Air Force Vet over the weekend. He’s raised over Four Million dollars to date, his goal is a billion.
Thoughts?
Mods I’m not posting this in favor of or against this campaign. If posting the link to the go fund me is verboten, feel free to delete and please accept a thousand apologies from me.
And because it is not easy to give money to the federal government that is dedicated for a specific purpose, Rep. Steven Palazzo (R-MI) introduced legislation that would direct the Treasury Department to issue government savings bonds that could be used to fund the wall.
Palazzo, vice chairman of the House Homeland Security Appropriations Subcommittee, introduced the Border Bonds for America Act of 2018 on Monday.
The bill “allows American citizens the opportunity to purchase revenue bonds to help finance the construction of a southern border wall,” the press release announcing the legislation said.
“This bill is a safe investment into the infrastructure and security of our country,” Palazzo said, adding that there is a precedent for Americans paying to ensure the nation’s security
The thing about those bonds: unless they are encumbered specifically for the wall, they could disappear into the general fund and be used to pay for more crap we don’t want or need.
Hmm… the Deal of the Century Chevy Chase Ollie North side of me is thinking we could buy all the decommissioned mines from these countries that are removing mines and put them all along the border for a fraction of the cost.
I mean, them mines need a home. Think of the mines.
So many Soviet APERS and Toe Poppers in need of a home…
Last I checked it’s over six million. It does say something about the “silent majority” if nothing else. People want to feel safe and they want their government to listen to them.
I think it’s the number one trending go fund me at the moment as well.
I’d be interested to see if some SJW group starts a counter fundraiser and how much $$ that would pull in.
The narrative is the new NAFTA deal did just that by forcing Mexico to pay increased cost to have available US markets.
Could be real, if it is, it needs to get out there.
There is this…really out there…part of me that hopes this somehow goes viral and gets to the point where the wall is totally funded and people are ultimately swayed into getting the wall thanks to a street smart black youth gang in Jheri Curls and headbands who hold a breakdance show at the Youth Center and the reclusive, lonely old Millionaire who lives in the decrepit mansion on the hill’s heart grows ten times that day by all the team spirit and that is what pushes it past the billion dollar mark.
That is how I want this to end.
I’ll settle for mines, but really want the breakdance show at the Youth Center
Up to eight million at this point. I want this to get so big the MSM starts to cover it and attempts to paint everyone who gave as an “eviiiiil racist”
I’d love to watch the MSM and their liberal followers shoot themselves in the foot again just like they did in 2016.
