BORDER WALL FUNDING

The Pentagon is planning to use 1 billion dollars in leftover funds from military pay and pension accounts to help President Trump pay for the border wall. The money would come from military pay and pensions and is available because Army recruitment is down and a voluntary early military retirement program is being underutilized. The Pentagon is planning to transfer money into a fund dedicated to drug interdiction, with the money then redirected for border barriers and other purposes.
