US Taxpayer to pay for Trump's Wall

[java]

Well I certainly never bought it in the first place. There were a whole lot of Trump supporters who believed him though.

Where are they? You're the only one I hear bitching.

Tarriffs put income in the govt pockets... hopefully instead of income taxes and produce jobs at home.

Done properly they are far better for a country than no tariffs and income taxes.

Look folks we have been taught a lot of b.s. in econ glasses.

Free trade is not really free trade if you are allowing your country to be targeted... Its wealth extraction.

Being the world's currency does not work if your private Central Bank reaped the benefit of sending trilions of your Dollars around the world.

How the hell did our dollar get weaker when the world was demanding it.

Our dollar should have become so strong we were buying up other countries for nothing. Instead it depreciated 700 percent the last 50 years. That means our people were screwed out of serious wealth.

We must all rethink the "givens" we though we knew.
Free trade has not been good for the average U.S. citizen the last 30 years.

We took in 60 million people and we exported millions of jobs and trillions in wealth.

Just as long as you know that the person who actually pays a tariff is a US citizen and not China as Trump suggests.

Sure everything is going to be great under Trump. Two years ago these assholes were screaming about the deficit, now they are more than happy to accept a 1.5 trillion spending increase.

Exactly. Wtf are they complaining about. Which politician in recent memory even spoke of a wall. Gimmie a break. We're getting a 3 foot high ice cream sundae and yelps complain about not enough cherrys on top.

Donald Trump, who has not even held office for a day said "Mexico is going to pay for the wall!"

How does it feel to be lied to?

You mean the private prison system (tax payer funded) that saw a 40% stock jump on Trump's election after Obama was about to scrap it? The same system that lobbied hard to remove due process for undocumented and increase incarceration time instead of them waiting at home for their day at court? Yeah, they're against illegal immigration alright.

Obama had 8 years to scrap it, why didn't he? Trump is not even President yet. Yeah Trump caused the stock to jump. Speaking of "jump" you will need to really be able to "jump" to get over this wall

What is a better way to spend 1.5 trillion? More fighter jets? Climate Change Research? Bringing in more Islamic Refugees? A bullet train from Mexico City to the USA? More welfare? Free Healthcare?

What is a good way to spend the money? The Government always finds ways to be corrupt and waste our tax money. This time around I am happy to pay for the Wall. It beats all of the shit Obama was wasting it on. Who knows how much Obama spent on Marlboro Reds and rounds of Golf??? He must have not purchased any golfing lessons because he sucks.

You know its really funny, because the orignal premise was not to spend it at all. Trump wants to keep everything else status quo, but increase spending by 1.5 trillion.
How bad is it? Chuck Schumer creamed in his undies when he heard it. If you are onboard with the plan, then you are unboard with Chuck Schumer.

What part of the USA are you in? Maybe you have not seen what unchecked rampant illegal immigration really looks like? I want a Wall my friend. The government no matter who is in charge finds ways to waste money. Sure saving it would be nice but the younger generation strongly supports socialism. Bernie's popularity proves that. So after Trump is no longer president we will probably get someone who promises free college, free everything....

I would like to see my money "wasted" on something that actually interests me, which is a Wall. I rather see a Wall than pay for an Islamic Refugee to be brought here and given free school. Aside from saving the money what would you like to see tax money spent on?

Let me ask you a direct question wildchild, which would you rather have?
1. Build a Wall.
2. Don't build a wall, free College for all newly arrived immigrants (legal and undocumented).

If you had to pick one which would it be 1 or 2?

Trump said he was going to build a wall and Mexico was going to pay for it. If that does not happen he is a liar. Its not like this was off the wall remark that he made once. He based his entire campaign on this. What is so difficult to understand?

If my friend invites me out to dinner and says he will pay, then turns to me when the check comes and says, actually I changed my mind, you are going to pay, am I supposed to be happy about it. By your reasoning I should be happy to pay because "hey, I wanted dinner".

I never took him in the literal sense of "pay for it". He meant "pay" in a number of ways. Mexico lost the Ford Automotive Manufacturing Plant. Carrier is making ACs in the USA an not Mexico. It sounds like he is already making Mexico "pay for it". This is a better way to pay for it, who wants to take delivery of all of those Pesos anyways lol!
