Isn't Myorkis stating it will be two miles of wall?
This is the fact that riles me up .....The wall was appropriated. Which means it was paid for .....in the budget. That money didn't go away. Here is reality. I've done multiple government contracts along the way.
You win a contract. You buy materials to build the product. You build the product .....then come the surprises .....Add this component, delete that component .....We asked for 200 units, now, using this Purchase Order, make it 500 units. Then comes the surprise .....as of this date stop all orders.
I was building portable transformers for camps. These transformers are the type you see behind a grocery store, at the entry to a housing development and my favorite .....at the base of every wind tower to a wind farm and on every sled of a solar farm ...The military doesn't move these ..... They blow them up and ask for more. When you cancel an order .....every stick of material in your building, bought for the project, gets paid for .......by the taxpayer .....now decide what to do with the material. Side walls of transformers, no problem, use them on another customer's transformer ......charge the same as if you bought the material for their transformer ....
We paid for all that material stacked up at the wall. Biden started auctioning off that material ......that meant we got pennies on every dollar spent. The wall should have been completed, not abandoned in the sun.
