the most effective plan by any president ever!
He is going put a 5% tariff on all products coming from Mexico. Great! Another tariff war to drive price higher and higher! Brilliant? Absolutely not! This was his big dramatic statement about dealing with the border so-called crisis!

(11,885 posts)Farmers got a huge one, so where's ours now after paying for the farmers bailout, and paying a lot more for China's goods, and now Mexico added. Again, where's our bailout for this that the wealthy and trump should pay for, , not the poor and the middle class. trump's trying to hurt the economy to blame others for it then, and to threaten and use as a weapon against others and the American people. He doesn't care who it hurts either. Its all about his ego.

Plus we need the labor to do jobs even our unemployed won't do... and our businesses won't pay a living wage for. If they did pay a living wage to those workers, a whole bunch of stuff would cost more (it's not just agriculture)
so... we pay more for goods Mexico ships to us through tariffs AND we pay more to have the jobs the low wage immigrants do right now... double economic inflation whammy.
He is hell bent on sending us into a depression.
