How will you feel when you find you you are paying for "the wall?"

[usmbguest5318]

How might Trump pay for his wall? He's suggested a tax on goods imported from Mexico. Great, right? Well, just who buys goods imported into the U.S. from Mexico? It's not Mexicans or Canadians.

You're pretty clueless about economics. How many Mexican products will people buy at a 20% premium? Go cry in your Corona Cerveza.

No, actually you're the clueless one. If the products are priced with a 20% premium and sales fall, and nobody will be buying them as you suggest, Trump will need to find another way to pay for his wall. That still leaves Americans paying, not Mexico.

If Trump truly thought the tax/tariff would be so high as to dissuade purchases, why would he propose such a tax as a means to pay for the wall?

Great news! You're gettign an Infrastructure Job, putting you to work overseeing constructing of the south side of the wall. You'll have to find a spot about 1 mile south of the wall and report back on progress

America has figure out how to pay for this wall and don't forget:

We need $12 trillion dollars to occupy Iran.

Illegal immigration costs the taxpayer over 100 billion a year, the wall will pay for itself.

Obviously, Mexico would pay for not paying for the wall.

The other thing you don't get is that Trumps does not really expect to get a 20% tax on Mexican imports. He'll get something like 5% and economic and poititical morons will think it's a victory, present company included. It's in the "Art of the Deal"

Just like Globalism causes "Adjustments" in the market, so does the introduction of Fair Trade.

 

[The Irish Ram]

Well let's see. First we could stop building border walls for Mexico and everybody else. That's a start. Then kick the economy in gear by building a wall that would rival the great wall of China and make it a money making tourist attraction all the way across. Let the states compete for the greatness and uniqueness of their portion. Then take a right at the eastern border of California and keep right on building until you hit Canada, make another right........

US companies will raise their prices to just under the Mexican tariff. Trump is for nothing but more profit for corporations and the rich. How long do you think before the one percent are making 100% of new wealth?

Meathead is about right....

If people don't continue to buy Mexican, the wall can't be paid for by the tax.

Domestic producers now have a higher price ceiling, and will take advantage to raise their prices marginally below 120% of the original price of the Mexican product.

No wall, higher domestic prices....

btw, how much econ have you ever studied?

I'll feel great. Spend whatever it takes. It's time for border security. It'll be money well-spent for a change. Get it done.

The possibilities are theoretically endless, but describe a tight orbit around "cause he's a fucking idiot".....

 

[Decus]

Many Americans feel that they have been paying for things that they don't want. If the wall lessens the cost of illegal immigration, slows the flow of drugs and pisses off the idiots, it won't be the worst investment we've made.

How will it be "money well spent"?

Can't we find another, much less expensive means, by which to indulge the Stupid Among Us?

What if we chipped in and bought you some jacks, or something?

If "pissing off idiots" is the objective, I can think of much more productive strategies.....

Any chance you might have a citation for that?
