Mexico just paid for the Wall

Deflecting again I see... or is it you just don’t have your facts together? And yes it does matter. What this is RSR is one big boondoggle. Typical

 

Amen

 

LOL... that is of no consern to Calminian. The rule of law is inconsequential to the likes of these guys.

 

Felix the Cat returns.

 

... whenever he gets in a fix he reaches into his bag of tricks! ​

 

Never thought I'd see the day that so-called fiscal conservatives would come up with their own fairy tales to pay for their programs.

You see, liberals are going to pay for free single payer health care by eliminating excessive insurance forms, going to digital recodkeeping with portability of patient files, and negotiating for prescription drugs as the federal government.

Also, liberals tell us the budget will be balanced by eliminating fraud and going through the budget line by line and cutting wasteful spending.

Remember those leftist chestnuts?

Now Trumpies are telling us the Wall will be paid for out of the trade surplus the US runs with Mexico because of a trade deal. Never mind the revenues involved are mostly going to private corporations (you know, the ones doing the trading with Mexican companies) and the US government is not really getting any revenue from private corporations doing business. Or that even if there was some way that money from private businesses trading with each other would get into the general fund that Congress would approve spending it on the Wall.

Crazy Ivan

 

Grifter sure

 

I'm not upset.

Please explain how a better trade deal will defray the costs of the Wall.

I'm not upset. I'm kind of astonished and disappointed in the level of gullibility die-hard Trump supporters will reach.

Real conservatives don't create spending plans without real revenue income streams.

Explain how a trade deal fills the US tax coffers with money.

What income stream will the US government get from private corporations involved in (mostly) free trade? How does the US get any money?

The economy is the best it's been in 20 years. Really, why do you accuse and deflect when you start losing an argument?

See this for my thoughts on the economy:

Tax revenues from imported goods are called tariffs. Since the object of the trade deal is to reduce the trade imbalance--decrease imports and/or increase exports--nope, no increased tax revenues here to pay for the Wall.

OK, how about getting tax revenues from corporate profits? Nope. Corporate tax rates were reduced in the latest tax bill.

Either method is wishful thinking because Congress has not appropriated the money for the Wall.

Usually means tax revenues increase. But the decrease in corporate rates needs to be overcome.

Also tax revenues can increase exponentially, doesn't matter because Congress still has to approve the money for the Wall.

I love the trade deals. My beef is the fantasy that there will magically be money to pay for the Wall. A Wall that Congress has not appropriated money to build.

Because it is Constitutional.

There is no revenues to be secured with a trade deal with Mexico. There are no new tariffs. There is only free and fair trade. The US government doesn't get new tax dollars out of the deal.
