Saved or created money. That sounds like how President Obama counts job numbers. It's mealy-mouthed politician talk for "well they aren't actually going to pay for it." Using money that we save by not spending it on the border isn't having someone else pay for it. That's still our money. That's like thinking that buying something on sale puts money in your pocket . You're still spending the money. He's talking about allocating funds to the wall that were previously allocated to enforcement. It's not money we "otherwise would not have had" it's money we do have and were spending. To fund construction of a new U.S. border wall, Donald Trump and senior advisers are considering various ideas, including the use of assets seized from drug cartels and others in the illicit drug trade. A fine idea. But not the idea Trump sold during the primaries. It's not even the idea he sold in his speech this week . Trump has conjured in the minds of his base an image of Mexico crawling on its knees with a check in hand. Vengeance for terkinerrjerbs. He's sold that idea this entire campaign. But like most of what he sells, both politically and commercially, it's not what the customer expected, wanted, or was told. told you so
