Trump: “America First”....Democrats: ‘Mexico First’

The Wall was going to be paid for by fixing the trade deficit. Whether that is feasible IDK but currently the deficit with Mexico ~$60Bn if we can get it down to $30Bn then Mexico would have effectively paid for the Wall. That was his plan.

This makes no sense. The trade deficit between countries is not between the two governments but between private individuals and private companies.

A smaller trade deficit does not mean a single extra dime in the government coffers.

I am not. If he forces Mexico to buy goods from US companies vs. companies in say France or Germany for arguments sake then those companies will see a spike in demand, revenues and profits. They will hire more workers and hence generate more tax revenue for the Gov't. Unless you believe that more profits equal less taxes.

IF...that is a big damn IF.

That was what I said his plan was and I was not sure it would work. If you read the thread you would have seen that. Instead of stalking me, actually read my posts.
 
I despise folks who just want to avoid conflict and want to be in the middle on every issue. elite-approved bipartisanship got us into this situation in the first place. we have had enough bipartisanship of the elites, for the elites, by the elites.
 
Haha...you poor LefTarded folks...you still can’t make the distinction between self funded social security and the “welfare” that Guadalupe and ShaQuita abuse.

These trolls have no idea how SS and Medicare are funded....and they couldn't care less. First generation I've ever seen who are proud to be stupid, hate themselves for being born white, and have no plan for their own future other than inheriting what their parents leave them....this country is in serious trouble.
And they have no idea they take out way more than they ever put it.
And they whine about non existent immigrant benefits.
Hilarious
 
Who's gonna Pay for it?

I clearly remember Trumpybear's crowds hollering "We will"

Don't you?


pay for what?

I'll give you three guesses but the first two don't count.


if you are talking about the border wall, the US taxpayers were always going to pay for it, under Bush, Clinton, Obama, or Trump. All trump said was the Mexico would end up paying for it, not by sending us a check or a pallet of pesos, but through improved trade practices that will result in more revenue to the federal government (to pay for a wall, your foodstamps, my SS, your Medicaid, and everything else that the govt pays for.


Surely you recall the crowds replying with "the US taxpayers are going to pay for it and hope that future taxes on Americans will cover it"

But that's a big nope. Donnie Dumb asses supposed trade deal has not been ratified.
And his dad isn't here to bale him out.
Maybe Vladimir?

The cost of building a permanent border wall pales mightily in comparison to what American taxpayers spend every single year on dealing with the fallout of illegal immigration on their communities, schools and unemployment offices. Mexico must pay for the wall and, until they do, the United States will, among other things: impound all remittance payments derived from illegal wages; increase fees on all temporary visas issued to Mexican CEOs and diplomats (and if necessary cancel them); increase fees on all border crossing cards – of which we issue about 1 million to Mexican nationals each year (a major source of visa overstays); increase fees on all NAFTA worker visas from Mexico (another major source of overstays); and increase fees at ports of entry to the United States from Mexico [Tariffs and foreign aid cuts are also options]. We will not be taken advantage of anymore.


This is what Trump said while running........and he has mentioned them off and on for a couple of years..........The left doesn't listen........these were ways which he mentioned to get them to pay for the wall.............and he included how much it would save......

There .......clearing up the MEXICO will PAY for the WALL mantra............hear it every day.

How many have they allowed him to do. Lol

That was his official statement before elected on that issue.
 
Tariffs have been used wherever a foreign country tries to sell its products in the USA at prices lower than a US company can sell for.

Its about protecting US jobs and companies in the USA. Why is that a bad thing to do?

It is not a bad thing if you prefer your government to pick the winners and losers instead of the free market.

It works wonderfully in China since they have a Socialist Market Economy.

Personally, I am one of those weird ones that prefer the private market to make these choices vice the government. But then again I am not a statist like you.


If the free market was totally open on a world wide basis, then workers in the US would see their pay reduced to $5/day or less in order to compete with Chinese child labor. OR, American companies would close and everything would be made in china. How exactly would that help americans? We cannot compete with most of the world on an hourly rate basis, everyone knows that. Tariffs keep America on an equal footing, but like most liberals, you seem to want this country to fail. I don't understand that.

Your argument failed just as soon as you typed "Like Most Liberals" and hit send.


I cant help it if the truth hurts.

How is they? The State Dept sets the rate for temp visas...Trump controls the State Dept.

The State Dept send foreign aide to countries....Trump controls the State Dept

The State Dept sets the price of the border crossing cards....Trump controls the State Dept

If people like you from both sides would quit giving our elected officials a free pass we might get something accomplished.

congress establishes the budget and appropriates money to the various govt agencies. the president only signs off on the funding bill making it law. The various agencies are limited in how they can spend the money by the language of the funding bill.

Maybe a short course in US government might be in order for you. I think it was called civics in high school. Did you sleep thru it?

The agency does not have to use the money that has been allocated. Yes, they are limited in how they can spend it, but there is no law saying they have to spend it all. The State Dept could refuse to send the foreign aide, they can up the price of visas and the rest.

Once you finish your high school civics class come back and we can have a discussion on a topic you are not totally ignorant on.
