Probably everyone on this site thinks the wall is a stupid idea. There’s stupid, and then there’s idiotic to the point where, if nothing is done, our economy will be suffocated by the enormous debt burden incurred by the Republican tax cuts for the rich.
So let’s show that Democrats can put forward a solution that gives both sides what they want: $200 billion in “new” taxes (basically rolling back part of the Republican giveaway) in exchange for $25 billion for increased border security. These taxes would be immediate, i.e., for fiscal year 2019. We can at least make a 10% dent in $1.75 T lunacy.
Let’s see how badly Trump (and miscreant Miller) really want their wall. I’d love to see another live press event where Nancy presents the proposal to Trump.
