Privately funded? Nah. Taxpayer funded? SURE!!

GOP Fiscal Responsibility, am I right? :bonk: I'm sure righties will be more than happy to speak out about this responsible spending :rofl:

Sens. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, Katie Britt of Alabama and Eric Schmitt of Missouri announced plans to fund the ballroom project with tax dollars. Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky, meanwhile, said he plans to ask for unanimous consent Tuesday to pass a bill to authorize the ballroom’s construction without funding it. Both bills are expected to be released Tuesday.

The Graham bill would direct $400 million in federal funding to the ballroom, offset by customs fees.

400M? Sorry am I mathing correctly here, nearly $4,500 per square foot for a 90,000sqft. ballroom?

Interesting...

In a social media post, Trump called the National Trust a group of left-wing “lunatics” and said his ballroom is “under budget, ahead of schedule, being built at no cost to the Taxpayer, and will be the finest Building of its kind anywhere in the World”.

I'd rather my taxpayer dollars go to a ballroom for the white house than pay for a 12 year boy to become a 12 year old girl.

What about using your tax dollars so that people can go to an island and hehehe 12 year old girls.
The island is gone... They need a new place.

I hate LGBTQ Woke Trans by the way. Just to be precise.

Anyone with a brain knows that debt will never be paid.
The debt also has nothing to do with you or me, it's just an imaginary number at this point.
400 million is .0004% of a trillion dollars.

Another thing that has nothing to do with you or me.
We do not control what the government does with our taxes, but we have to pay them anyways.
That's just the way it is until someone does something about it.

Are you implying that the ballroom will be used for such activities?


Anyways, the government collects 5 trillion dollars a year in federal taxes.
400 million dollars is literally like .0001% of the entirety of their collection.
And atleast it is something that the POTUS can use for events and such.

"I'd rather have my tax money go to a ballroom that was illegally tore down instead of fake imaginary funding for turning boys into girls, because for some reason trans people are always on my mind. Also, at the same time, I do not care what it is spent on because none of it matters. I also probably complained about Obama painting a basketball court on top of a tennis court at one point."

Do you hear yourself? The cognitive dissonance is astonishing.
