January 26, 20179 yr News from The Associated Press So basically tax the bejeezus out of any goods Mexico wants to sent to the US? I'd be okay with that.
January 26, 20179 yr News from The Associated Press That 20% increase will be passed off to the consumer. I think a lot of the pro-wall folks are probably unaware of just what all they use that's imported from Mexico.
January 26, 20179 yr So basically tax the bejeezus out of any goods Mexico wants to sent to the US? I'd be okay with that. I'm definitely not. I don't want the useless wall to begin with. Also, where will the money come from to maintain and staff this wall "in perpetuity"?
January 26, 20179 yr So basically tax the bejeezus out of any goods Mexico wants to sent to the US? I'd be okay with that. Corporations are going to pass this off to the consumer.
January 26, 20179 yr So basically tax the bejeezus out of any goods Mexico wants to sent to the US? I'd be okay with that. Here's what else we import from Mexico, Mr. Trump - Sep. 16, 2
January 26, 20179 yr From what I've quickly read he doesn't just want to place the import tax on Mexican goods.
January 26, 20179 yr Can someone tell me when I'm supposed to say "free trade" is a good thing and when I'm supposed to say "free trade" is a bad thing?
January 26, 20179 yr If this occurs (and I hope it does not) then we can also expect US exporters to be slapped with additional taxes for goods shipped. That will not be good for the average Joe in the US working paycheck to paycheck OR for stockholders of public corporations. Let's also consider a study I saw online today that said something like 45% of illegal immigrants did not sneak across the border. They overstayed their temporary work visas. The wall ain't keeping them out. Is this wall really worth it?
January 27, 20179 yr Here's what else we import from Mexico, Mr. Trump - Sep. 16, 216 They can keep that Mexican beer. Blah.
January 28, 20179 yr Holy guacamole! Tariffs could slam Mexican avocados :no: guacamole :puke: pea guacamole
January 28, 20179 yr How much is "too much" for this wall? Rep Paul Ryan says $8B to $14B. History of estimates from the govt says it will be a lot more. You than have to maintain it. It will have huge annual costs. Interesting that you and others all of a sudden concerned about the cost of anything.
January 28, 20179 yr Interesting that you and others all of a sudden concerned about the cost of anything. Equally interesting that you and others aren't.
January 28, 20179 yr The Trump administration just needs to come up with a misleading name for the bill that will fund the wall and require the government to compel the reimbursement of costs from Mexico. There is a precedent for this: the unaffordable "Affordable Care Act." Better yet, include the words "Affordable" and "Stimulus" in the bill's name and some Democrats will mistake it for one of their own. Something like: Affordable Borders Economic Stimulus Act
