NAFTA isn't an organizationSledog said:
UN, WTO, NAFTA and any other fucking alphabet soup organization that we usually end up on the short end of the stick. Somehow I think they'll all still want our money.UWhuskytskeet said:
Where did Spicer get $50B? We import $270.6B annually, and a lot of that are components for shit we end up exporting to other countries (car parts, electronics, etc). So not only to Americans pay the tariff, we'll see our exports drop as their prices increase.RaceBannon said:White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer mentioned the possibility to reporters on Air Force One Thursday, as relations between Trump and his Mexican counterpart Enrique Pena Nieto spiraled.
"When you look at the plan that's taking shape now, using comprehensive tax reform as a means to tax imports from countries that we have a trade deficit from, like Mexico," Spicer said.
"If you tax that $50 billion at 20 percent of imports – which is by the way a practice that 160 other countries do – right now our country's policy is to tax exports and let imports flow freely in, which is ridiculous," he said. "By doing it that we can do $10 billion a year and easily pay for the wall just through that mechanism alone. That's really going to provide the funding."
Might be a little early to panic. dhdawg is partially right you know. But meaningless conversation is what we do
Higher prices, less exports = recession. Make sense? TRUMP sense!
Not to mention the fact that adding a tax on a single country is a violation of WTO agreements. Or does Trump want to join North Korea and Palestine as the only countries to not take part in the WTO? -
Time to stock up on tequila.

Some of those unions are going to be pissed when countries stop importing their goods.GrundleStiltzkin said:My biggest problem with Trump so far, and populism in general, is this trade war bullshit. Major unions start sidling up to a president is as bad a sign as any.
