Trump's emergency declaration gets the $8 billion dollars for the wall by taking it from money that Congress had budgeted for the military. So I was wondering why no one was making a stink that the declaration amounts to an $8 billion cut in the military budget. This is the first hint of it I have seen:
But Democrats were also making a less lofty case to wavering Republicans. They circulated a list of all of the possible military construction projects in each district that could lose money shifted instead to Mr. Trump’s wall.
