President Trump wants a wall. Democratic lawmakers don't want to pay for it.
Here's an elegant compromise: If Trump truly thinks building a wall is such a brilliant idea, he should pay for it himself.
I’m actually not the first to propose this. Last week, Rep. Walter B. Jones, R-N.C., suggested that our builder in chief pledge “some of his own funds” toward the wall, though Jones emphasized that a fiscally responsible approach would primarily rely on offsetting cuts to “wasteful federal spending.”
Now, saying you're going to pay for a border wall by eliminating "wasteful federal spending" is a bit of an oxymoron.
