Trump administration siphoned almost $4 million from 9/11 first responders fund: report - MarketWatch


"The National Institute for Occupational Health and Safety (NIOHS) oversees the FDNY World Trade Center Health Program. The Daily News reports that the Treasury started keeping some of the money earmarked for this program — to the tune of about half a million dollars each year in 2016 and 2017, and $630,000 each year in 2018 and 2019. And the Treasury has nearly tripled these extractions this year, withholding $1.447 million through late August, according to Dr. David Prezant, the program director."


Anyone surprised?



“It’s disgraceful,” King (R - NY) told the newspaper.
 
Steal from everywhere for a Wall ............

Trump should have been paying attention. The Bush family were taken by surprise at the level of opposition. Resistance from wealthy conservative families who want no part of that Wall and certainly do not want it on or anywhere
near their haciendas.

If Trump loses just think how short his wall is going to be.

Now, it was never gonna be completely across our Southern border. So whatever he ends up building is going to be pretty much meaningless.

It was meaningless when GW was pushing it and it has been compromised many times = not stopping the people south of the border.
