Once again we have people reporting to their jobs and not getting paid. I doubt the banks, utility companies, car insurance, doctors, etc. will say, “We won’t fine you for not paying on time, but we will take back your home, car, boat or whatever you are no longer able to pay for.”

What causes the return of slavery? A wall President Donald Trump promised that Mexico would pay for. Now, he estimates $5.7 billion in taxpayer money is needed. Estimates are seldom the cost.

Who owns the property for the proposed wall? Would it be built on the government, private citizen or corporation?

Will the wall be of cement or steel? If it is steel, will it be from a United States foundry? Would the wall stand up against a tornado or earthquake? What if they come by boat?

Finally, do you know why Trump likes to play golf? Well, every time he hits the golf ball and it stops rolling, “it is another lie” for him.
