The federal government remains partially closed and the president will not release the country until his demands are met. A border wall paid for and by the people with a $5 billion dollar price tag.
A math major and beer snob got together and ran some numbers. Americans consume more Mexican beer than any other import, averaging over 60 million gallons a month, according to beerinstitute data. If we returned the empty bottles to Mexico for their deposit, the wall could be paid for in no time. Let's do the math.
Assume all beer is bottled and all bottles have a 5¢ deposit.
In October 2018 60,951,402 gallons of Mexican beer were consumed. 54 bottles of beer make up a gallon. 60 million (gallons) times 54 = 3,240,000,000 bottles in one month and at 5 cents a bottle the wall gets $162,000,000 a month on the average. And this is just Mexican imports. There's big money in bottle deposits! Huge money!
By now the leaders in DC have exceeded their daily reading allotment. You see it would take years to save even one billion dollars but we can tell DC leadership their Five Billion Dollars (what is being asked for a wall) will be saved up in a few months. A senator (not furloughed) recommended that beer bottle money will pile up much quicker if the furloughed federal employees pitch in and start collecting bottles immediately. If you haven't begun yet, start binge drinking amigo.
