White House plan to help pay for border wall is a long shot

WASHINGTON (AP) - The White House is calling for immediate budget cuts of $18 billion from programs like medical research, infrastructure and community development grants to help pay for the border wall that President Donald Trump repeatedly promised would be financed by Mexico.

Like President Donald Trump's 2018 budget, which was panned by both Democrats and Republicans earlier this month, the proposals have little chance to be enacted. But they could create bad political optics for the struggling Trump White House, since the administration asked earlier for $3 billion to pay for the Trump's controversial U.S.-Mexico border wall and other immigration enforcement plans.

In totally unrelated news, I plan on putting a large, extravagent fence around my yard to keep out animals and I plan on paying for it by selling chunks of concrete from the foundation of my house.

You could also help pay for it by cutting back on your children's meals and their visits to to the doctor.

Yeah, I keep feeding them but they're always complaining that they need more food. Why don't they just get jobs instead of going to school? And being nine years old is no excuse!
