But I can see a way around this. If private companies are building the wall then have the fund pay those companies directly for a portion of the work.

I had a similar idea. The fund could offer every bidding contractor a percentage of his bid if he wins and completes the job successfully.

If that percentage was 15%, for example, the bids to the Goverment would be about 15% lower than expected and Trumps budget would go further.

More wall for the money. The bigger this fund grows the bigger the subsidy. If this gets going over Pelosi’s Dead Body I would keep contributing as would many others.

I am hopeful. But the 2019 Congress and a slew of Lefty Judges stand in the way.

Add another 15% for coming in under the projected time - and in a bit of circular logic - or for coming in under budget. :-)

A house near me was built of multiple concrete walls, and transported 200 miles to its present siting.

The pieces were numbered, and a crane assembled all the pieces to make a three-story—all-concrete—house in 2½ days!

If private landowners would allow partial assembly (or storage) of the necessary pieces, it would advance the completion of the wall—by years.
