Trump military parade expected to cost $80 million more than estimated

This sounds like Trump wanting to be keeping up with Putin and Kim Jong Un.

Children are still in cages not joined with parents. Millions of Americans do not have the healthcare. Massive cuts are made to education.

Imagine how American whose children die because they cannot afford cancer treatment must feel about this spending. Does not spending 92 million on military parade seem to be huge waste of your money?

I think he had better save that money for his wall.

 

[Elliewaves]

But we can't afford for everyone to get heathcare...... because someone who is a poor AND also lazy might be able to get cancer treatment if they need it and the poors just deserve to die and so do their kids! Yay parade!

At least bring the cages out so they can watch the parade.

I’m curious as to why this concerns you.

I thought it is interesting subject to discuss.

And it sounds like Trump had his daughter in law offer Omarosa a $180,000/year job after she was fired, presumably to keep her quiet. And the money is supposedly coming from SMALL DONOR CASH!

LOL. Trump is so incredibly corrupt. But at least it's his voters, his honest, hardworking voters who help pay off his mistakes. I wish they were also the only ones on the hook for Dear Leader's Military parade.

It's a gross waste of taxpayer money. It's about 9X higher than the initial estimates. And it's the kind of thing the Soviets and the North Koreans did all the time.

And it's not like there isn't BETTER use of $92Million in the US. We could perhaps clean up the Flint water.

Immigrant kids describe hunger, cold and cages in detention after crossing Mexican border into U.S.

Can you find a picture that's smaller and fuzzier, please? Maybe a polaroid? Something drawn in crayon perhaps?

 

[CRAZY_CAT_WOMAN]

So how much more will this cost us in tax dollars?

Unfortunately there was much done by Trump administration to prevent free press from doing the job properly in ways to conditions.

I am willing to believe eye witness. Do you claim to know better than eye witness?

So here is quote from article I link:

Also in Texas, Keylin, a 16-year-old girl from Honduras, said she traveled north with her mother after her mother’s life was threatened back home. The pair turned themselves in at the border near McAllen and were taken to a facility she called the “ice box” because it was so cold.

A day later, they were taken to a facility with caged areas she called the “dog house.” There, they were separated and allowed to speak once for 10 minutes over the next four days, she said.

If you do not believe this girl this is fine. That is your ability. So could we please get back to topic of if spending so much money on military parade instead of other things is better idea?

What about the clean drinking water for Flint as in post #9?

 

[majj27]

Meh, we can just ask the soybean farmers to pony up for it. They've got to be used to taking it on the chin from this administration by now.

 

[majj27]

So how much more will this cost us in tax dollars?

About $92,000,000.00. Give or take a million or so. Just so A Certain Someone can be the center of attention like a All Growed Up Big Boy.

 

[usexpat97]

It's good that $92 million of our money is spent to actually see the military that can't even stop a Russian cyberattack.

That's surely why the GOP voted to renew election security funding.

Oh wait, no, strike that... they voted to cancel the funding instead. Something about spending the money would be unneeded theatrics.

Huh. How 'bout that.

 

[Desk trauma]

I’m anxious to see if the president puts on a military costume to review the troops.

 

[Desk trauma]

Aww, it’s being postponed:
The Trump administration may delay a military parade slated for this fall, the Pentagon said Thursday, amid questions about the event’s increasing cost.

To use this administrations parlance, womp womp.
