$666 sinks
The Federal Emergency Management Agency is spending north of $1 billion to repair homes in Puerto Rico damaged by Hurricane Maria, but some of the money is going to contractors charging big markups.
This includes, for example, $666 bathroom sinks. Heck, an Archer Vitreous China Pedestal Combo Bathroom Sink in White with Overflow Drain, on the website of a popular home goods retailer, is only $226.55. [The New York Times]
$1.6 billion
President Trump wants $5 billion for his border wall, while Senate Democrats are holding firm to a $1.6 billion deal agreed to earlier this year. As such, and ahead of a Dec. 7 government funding deadline, Trump said he is considering a “Plan B” that could include more military troops and * razor wire. [The Washington Post]
* So the 'great big beautiful wall' of Trump's campaign speeches will become his 'shiny, beautiful, sharp, very sharp, razor wire' speech of '20?
