Government at Work - (Not) Building the Fence
Once again, an example of why we should be extremely cautious about giving government the power to do almost anything...
I found this story by Edwin Mora at CNSnews.com:
"U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), a division of the Department of Homeland Security, has spent about $9.8 million to store $44 million in steel that it bought but did not use to build fence along the U.S,-Mexico border, according to a report from the DHS Inspector General.
CPB has in storage about 27,000 tons of “extra steel” that could be used to extend the estimated 650 miles of fencing mandated by Congress along the approximately 2,000-mile long southwest border, according to the IG."
