Were going to pay for it and front the money up, Ryan said in an interview with MSNBC when asked who is going to pay for the wall.
There are a lot of different ways of getting Mexico to contribute to doing this, Ryan said.

(31,261 posts)While we will strangle them more than they strangle us, both of us will end up just as dead. I am getting more and more evil in my heart, I actually WANT Trump and republicans to impose tariffs on other countries and have those countries respond in kind. I want modern Americans to see what the Great Depression that President Obama DIDN'T get credit for saving us from eight years ago looks and feels like. Maybe once we are in it, the modern Republican Party will die.

Net loss to the US tax payer.

(7,584 posts)by the time the orange one and congress get done, this country will be in shambles. Tell us disastrous house speaker, just WHERE are these millions of dollars coming from to build a wall that is not needed and just HOW do you think you and the bird-brained prez are going to get Mexico to contribute one penny?

(4,834 posts)A simple $1 charge (as in toll) would raise $365,000,000 yearly. This would pay for a 10 billion dollar project in 30 years.
I predict an idea along these lines.
That Ryan would even consider this project for a minute, tells me the problem in not just that we have Trump in the White House, but that the nutty GOP will take the country straight to Hell.

(16,184 posts)President Obama to back such a wall, they would never fund it and they'd ridicule it as "Obamawall" finding a billion reasons it couldn't and wouldn't be done.

(63,221 posts)I have just been floored lately by the things that Trump is signing off on and that we are just helpless to influence in any way. I really do feel like we are living in a dictatorship. My head is spinning. I know that legally he probably isn't doing anything wrong, but it just seems so WRONG! Nobody is fighting for us and I feel that we have no means to counter these decisions. I am beyond frustrated and angry!

(82,849 posts)Maybe make it $400, just in case there are cost overruns. How about it, Mr. Speaker? Want to tap all those patriotic Americans to help keep Trump's solemn promise?

(14,920 posts)(everybody except tax deadbeat Trump's, who hasn't contributed to society in decades). Even his idiot supporters might not have been so Gung ho about his vanity wall if they knew they were going to be the ones stuck with the bill. You'd think an illegitimate usurper who lost the popular vote by multimillions would be a bit more circumspect. His idiot supporters should have paid attention to the fact that he has made a career out of sticking other people with the bill and then taking all the credit or profit.
