yeah.. reduce by 100% for 300 years lol.QuakerOats;1823533 wrote:They would not have to send us a check; we would merely reduce the amount of funding we are sending there way for a period of years. Simple, and under the radar.

15 billion for a wall and we give them 51 mil a year...Should I let CC figure it out for you?QuakerOats;1823543 wrote:Obviously you haven't looked at the math. I am not doing any more homework for lazy, liberal SJW's, and other marxist miscreants.
If you think all we give them is 51 mil a year you are delusional. We prop up their whole economy. Including all the untaxed income from illegals that go back across the borderZWICK 4 PREZ;1823547 wrote:15 billion for a wall and we give them 51 mil a year...Should I let CC figure it out for you?

The greatest economy of all time isn't being affected by tiny third world Mexico.

But, just do not complain when the markets collapse as the price of goods increases due to a trade war or an increase in tariffs.

It's not that simple to just say, Mexico can pay for it. Trade deals are complex for a reason.
BTW, with TPP also now dead, China can now have free reign to go after more favorable trade deals with Asian countries, further isolating US markets from favored status.

Uh huh. Let's see it cited. I won't hold my breath.QuakerOats;1823606 wrote:Keep digging, you will get to the real number at some point.
Good luck.
Sure, fine.QuakerOats;1823604 wrote:Oh boy. You need to start thinking quite a bit differently. Your side has inflicted economic damage upon families into the thousands and thousands of dollars, for some over ten thousand dollars in additional health care costs alone, and you are all of the sudden worried about the cost of oranges.
It is a new paradigm; buckle your seat belt, and get ready. Maybe put a helmet on too, liberals usually do when riding their bicycles.
Tariffs. Then again, the world economy was not as connected as it is now.CenterBHSFan;1823613 wrote:Gosh a ruddies! How did we EVER live before NAFTA?
You already know R's will be blaming D's and Obama until 2020.ptown_trojans_1;1823608 wrote:Sure, fine.
Ok, just do not complain if the price of everyday goods increases as a result of the increase in tariffs.
I'll also add, the same logic applies to Obama as it did on blaming Bush. You cannot blame Obama at all for anything after 1/20/17 for the Trump administration.
The Rs have the House, Senate, and White House. Own it. Anything good and bad.
