Really..............LOLThey will not be using a 6 cu.ft. mixer from Lowe's.That is not the purpose of the military and you know it. About who's getting the money is a political issue..........Not a military one............That would be just grandstanding over people trying to profit over the wall construction......The steel and concrete don't make themselves............that the military has to buy........unless they want to set up those concrete plants temp in the desert to make it.........and yes..........they can do that.........They got to buy the concrete and rebar from someone........That isn't the question...........it is whether he can use funds from the military to deal with a state of emergency............and that issue is questionable.........I'd like to see it confirmed one way or another as I've stated...........
I'd also like to see if funding could be appropriated for the military to build the wall............we already know they can give CBP equipment........and temporarily house detainees.............that has already been done...........
The military could build the wall cheaper than outside contractors.............and it would save a bunch of money if it was done that way........as other nations do already.
I don't think there really is a question if he can use the DOD funds to buy the supplies, fuel, etc. to "BUILD THAT WALL" (I just raised the heart rate of most trump supporters with that one). I don't even believe that Supreme Court would even rule on it since it's a Congressional Problem and not a Supreme Court Problem. But it might be more entertaining than all of Trumps other Reality Show projects. Just sad to see that it's done on a national level.
And I agree, and it will last much longer as well. The Army Corp of Engineers are the finest fully contained Construction Contractors in the World. But the problem is, the local economies won't benefit from it.
The problem is, the manpower will not be local or even close to being local. Civilians will not be paid wages. Now, that would not be a pretty picture and I believe that would end up in court pretty damned quick.
They know how to do the job..........LOL
