Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff said Thursday that fencing didn't make sense in deserts. "A wall across the border would be phenomenally expensive," he told reporters, and "it wouldn't be particularly effective."

And removing the Taliban and Saddam's regime weren't "phenomenally expensive?"

The Medicare Prescription Drug Program isn't "phenomenally expensive?"

The highway bill isn't "phenomenally expensive?"
