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. View Quote |

Lol, libs are gonna freak out, I love it.
Hi and Ca, no better source |

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. |

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

But wait, all the stories I see in the news has the Pentagon claiming Trump is stealing money from soldier medical and benefit funds or from much needed equipment that will weaken our defenses . . . .

Has the Hawaiian judge come forward yet telling The President he can not let the pentagon spend money?
|
|
Imagine the political savvy needed to pull that off internally after eight years of the communist POTUS. Good sign.

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". View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

Its like an experienced business guy asked the top pentagon bean counters some pointed questions.
