 :yawn:  :yawn: Guantanamo Naval Base has been there since 1903. It's a lease that can only be terminated by agreement of both parties. In case you don't know, farmer, a lease is a form of ownership. IOW, whatever construction is planned will happen on US property. :yawn:  :yawn:

Don't like it? persuade Congress and the President to agree to terminate the lease. Very simple.

One wonders if this construction will help reduce the US debt.

Nice irrelevant platitude. Nice, but irrelevant.

You know the US has become insane today when:

The answer to endless wars is more wars.

The answer to the police state is more tyranny.

The answer to a dead economy is starting a trade war.

The answer to regulations is more laws.

The answer to endless debt is more debt.

Well, there's eight years of not just deferred, but almost cut-off maintenance on everything from the confinement facility to the normal military base stuff (Since Obobo wanted to make nice with the Commies outside the wire who are triggered by its very presence), so $500 million isn't all that surprising.

Clean-cut, moral Americans who were taught to hate Communism, be hard-working, be responsible, respect free speech, support religious freedom, defend gun rights, oppose warrantless searches, seizures, and torture must be in a state of shock to watch the USA become Socialist.

Living in the US today seems like a foreign country now that Americans have become apathetic, obese, immoral, and dependent on the government and illegal immigrants have flooded the country.

How could Americans go to the same schools and come out with such opposite beliefs?

Patriotic Americans are really starting to re-examine their beliefs on everything.

Knowing what we know now, one cannot have pride in defeating British tyranny during the Revolutionary War if the US has ended up as a police state.

Americans who were proud that Lincoln saved the USA during the Civil War now really wonder if seceding was such a bad idea.

Americans who were told that the US saved the world from Hitler now question how a country with extra-judicial assassination of citizens without trials is better than the Nazis.

Americans who were taught that the USSR was an evil totalitarian regime wonder how a Socialist country with warrantless wiretapping is so different from the Communists.

Americans who were told Saddam was a sadistic dictator are confused how the US can take the moral high ground on anything since we also use torture.

Now the US is lecturing China, North Korea, Russia, and Iran on human rights while we continually bomb and invade multiple countries.

The USA has become an evil hypocrite.

Anyone who works for the government, the media, Hollywood, Wall Street, or pays taxes is supporting this massive fraud.

No wonder Americans are so depressed.

Some people just don't like to have their world view challenged.

Think. Question everything.

Resist. Opt-out. Dropout. Do not comply.

Pass the word.

Meanwhile, the NSA is still unconstitutionally reading your emails, recording your

When a man spends his own money to buy something for himself, he is very careful about how much he spends and how he spends it. When a man spends his own money to buy something for someone else, he is still very careful about how much he spends, but somewhat less what he spends it on. When a man spends someone else's money to buy something for himself, he is very careful about what he buys, but doesn't care at all how much he spends. And when a man spends someone else's money on someone else, he does't care how much he spends or what he spends it on. And that's government for you.

$500 million? That's the Pentagon for you. The Trump Organization could probably completely renovate it for only $150 million, including a spa, a swimming pool, and a tennis court.

And it would still be around $150 million.

What the government is good at is collecting taxes, taking away your freedoms and killing people. It's not good at much else.
