text: so, if our borders need fixing...and let's agree that they do....how do we pay for it?   the united states congress seems to come up with all kinds of money for a lot of silly things.  here are some examples: * $75,000 for seafood waste research * $500,000 for the arctic winter games * $300,000 for surfside-sunset and newport beaches in california * $350,000 for the chicago greenstreets program for the design, installation, and maintenance of over 950 hanging baskets * $600,000 for the abraham lincoln bicentennial commission * $100,000 for the harpers ferry police department. harpers ferry has a population of 400 people. * $2,500,000 for the goddard space flight center for radiance process dry-cleaning capability * $500,000 for construction of the sparta teapot museum and the list goes on and on...  yup!  i think we could find a few places to make cuts to pay for securing our borders.
