The government would benefit by increased tax receipts. Theoretically.Sure it doesWhat happened to Mexico paying for the wall!!!!!
DERP
The USMCA returns about $190 billion to America lost in the moronic NAFTA agreement. FAR more than the $25 billion needed for the wall. Mexico IS paying.
Trump Weighs Canceling NAFTA to Push USMCA Approval Through Congress
Show me the money
The thing is, trade agreements are for private business. Our government doesn't own business so our government isn't going to benefit from anything in any trade agreement.
Private business will reap all financial benefits from any trade agreement.
I guess that poster believes we're a communist nation that our government owns all businesses here in the United States. Thus owns all revenues from all of our businesses in the United States.
These people have no idea or concept of reality.
This isn't that complicated.

The USMCA creates parity in import duties. It is entirely about taxation. Mexico was imposing heavy tariffs on American goods while the USA was allowing Mexican goods to flow duty free. NAFTA was a stupid deal that screwed America. IF we truly had no tariffs, that would be best for the nation, but one sided tariffs are idiotic.
