| Dem Rep Introduces Bill to Block DJT from Using Fed Funds to Pay for Border Wall |
| 2017-03-10 |
| [Breitbart] Rep. Gwen Moore (D-WI) is slated to introduce legislation Thursday that would block President Trump from using federal funding to pay for a wall along the Mexican border. "I am not in favor of the wall, but if there is a wall, then I do not want the United States of America to pay for the wall," Moore told CBS News, saying that American taxpayers should not be burdened by Trump’s campaign promise. The legislation is called the "No Taxpayer Funding for the Wall Act," which would prohibit any federal funding, including funding already set aside for that purpose, from going to the wall. The bill has reportedly already gained the support of three dozen Democrats. Moore is also hoping to gain support from Republicans who are worried about the cost of the border wall. "My bill gives amazing opportunities, I think, to people like Jim Jordan to opt out of building the wall," she said, referring to the Republican lawmaker from Ohio. "I’m trying to mobilize some interest in my bill from deficit hawks." |

| #3 Gwen Moore is not one of the brighter bulbs, and has a dimmer switch that activates when she gets an idea (rare thing, I know). I suggest 24 hr marathon viewing of School House Rock: "I'm just a bill" to understand how she and 36 other fools can talk themselves to death and it isn't changing shit |

| #2 When the revolution begins in earnest, I hope the first ones lined up against the wall are the ones who held elected office without treating the safety of the citizenry as one of their highest priorities. |

| #1 The bill has reportedly already gained the support of three dozen Democrats. Of course it has. Damned obstructionists. Wasn't legislation for a wall passed some years ago and money set aside as well? |
