Don't worry, it's a Government project. It will be completed under budget and on time just like the Big Dig! /sarcasm
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Dig
The Big Dig is the unofficial name of the Central Artery/Tunnel Project (CA/T), a massive undertaking to reroute the Central Artery (Interstate 93), the chief controlled-access highway through the heart of Boston, Massachusetts, into a 3.5 mile (5.6km) tunnel under the city, replacing a previous elevated roadway. The project also included the construction of the Ted Williams Tunnel (extending Interstate 90 to Logan International Airport) and the Zakim Bunker Hill Bridge over the Charles River.
The Big Dig is the single most expensive highway project in American history. Although the project was estimated at $2.5 billion in 1985, when the last major highway section opened in December 2003, over $14.6 billion had been spent in federal and state tax dollars in the over 20 years since the project's conception. However, according to a former state official, "they just picked $2.5 billion to get it rolling -- everyone knew that was a lie." [1] The project was replete with delays, arrests, escalating costs, leaks, poor execution and use of substandard materials. The Massachusetts Attorney General is demanding contractors refund taxpayers $108 million for "shoddy work."[2]
Well, the Big Dig is in nortoriously corrupt Boston. Federal projects in the Southwest have a better history (think Hoover Dam). Best let Trump do it: he'd come in on time and under budget.
I'm guessing it'll be a half-ass fence built by illegals being paid union wages.
(3 slinkys on top of each other for 1 billion dollars)
We are all aware of how the big dig payed for veterans counseling and union vacations and every other thing then the dig itself, just as this "wall" will have riders for trips to and graft for?
Good point.
