Pentagon finds $12.8 billion in unused funds for mil construction: CA and HI emotionally hurt worse


Trump last month declared a national emergency at the border, and said he wants to use $3.6 billion for border wall projects. The Pentagon's list said it has found possible funding sources that are "in excess of the amount needed."

California, for example, was identified as having more than $700 million in unused Army and Navy military construction that could be used. Hawaii has more than $400 million that could be used.

The Pentagon must have some incredibly huge couch cushions to find that much spare change laying around.

The list contains projects that have funds “in excess of the amount needed.”

To identify the potential pool of sources of military construction funds, DoD will apply the following criteria:

• No military construction projects that already have been awarded, and no military construction projects with FY 2019 award dates will be impacted.

• No military housing, barracks, or dormitory projects will be impacted.

• The pool of potential military construction projects from which funding could be reallocated to support the construction of border barrier are solely projects with award dates after September 30, 2019.

For comprehensiveness, attached is a complete pool of all projects that were unawarded as of December 31, 2018. Once the above criteria is applied, the pool has a total value that is in excess of the amount needed to source potential section 2808 projects. The appearance of any project within the pool does not mean that the project will, in fact, be used to source section 2808 projects.

Less than 2% of annual budget, but that's from a quick google search saying $686 billion for Pentagon annual budget.

From what I understand between the money Congress allotted and other unspent DHS monies he may have enough for the section of border wall he was shooting for before he even gets into the emergency funding.

By the time the Dems and all their cohorts get done in court we may have a damn wall up and nobody even realized it and the best part is the emergency monies never get spent.

That money has been spent; just not on what it was supposed to be spent on.

I don’t believe California just didn’t spend $700 million.

Democrats want to poison pill future defense spending so it can’t be used for a wall after this year. Hopefully enough wall is built that it forces them to come to the table on immigration policies

What am I missing?  If the Pentagon is identifying the funds it's "federal" money, correct?  Obviously, California or Hawaii wouldn't benefit from the federal spending in the states but that's not the same as "California will pay for it".

You are correct.

But Californians and Hawaiians will not be the ones with those military construction contracts (unless the wall in CA needs to be built).

I want to see construction start and not even slow down when the flood of inevitable liberal judge injunctions come flying in.

"We will review this injunction and file our appeal to a higher court.  In the meantime, construction will continue."

They overloaded it with DoD guys while looking for money, it capsized, and they found some more money on the bottom side.
