Screw corporate tax cuts. Table that Bond villain's wet dream and put that money towards giving me a tax cut that lasts past the worst-case scenario end of Trump's tenure.

In terms of stupidity, it is hard to top giving the terrorist country of Iran 150B in cold hard cash (on pallets) to fund their terrorism. Even you can agree with this, right? Assuming you do, the wall would be the second most stupid waste of money you have ever seen? Do you confirm?

That's like asking me to choose between Mike Mularkey and Gus Bradley. They're both unfathomably stupid decisions.

Surely you'd agree with me if I said that the money being used on that wet dream would do much more good as part of a broader infrastructure package or simply cut from the budget and returned to the American people? A digital and economic wall that levies significant civil and criminal penalties against those who knowingly or negligently house or employ those here illegally would cost less and be more effective. Despite what Uncle Donald wants you to believe, most illegal traffic across the border is civilian in nature, people trying to get out of there by getting into here. If you remove the incentive for them to come up here, they'll slow down (not stop, just slow), and Border Patrol will be able to focus more on stopping the actual drug runners instead of the people who are as much a threat to freedom as you or I.
