Money for the wall

[Rockyrd]

Finally some folks are waking up to reality....

"Conservatives in the House are already sending a message to President Donald Trump: If you want us to give you your wall, tell us how you will pay for it.

Members of the conservative House Freedom Caucus and Republican Study Committee said Tuesday any conversation about funding a border wall or border security projects -- along with initiatives like infrastructure spending, Obamacare and military spending -- must include spending cuts elsewhere.
"If all of a sudden we're not worried about pay-fors for our spending, then we have been hypocrites for six years," said Rep. Raul Labrador, a Republican from Idaho. "So we need to make sure that whether it's a fence, whether it's the military, whether its' any other issue that we're discussing here in Congress ... we need to have pay-fors for those things, and I'm not going to vote for anything that just increases spending without looking at a way to pay for that in the future."

Hey, another great response..highly thought out, organized and relevant.you people always say nobody discuses issues....

I say, you only post to demonize either Obama, Clinton or some vague group (blacks, progressives, democrats) but your claim in discussing issues..not so much

The Trumpanzee is going to meet today with several major retail CEO's today. One topic will be the 20% import tax to build a wall.

Naturally, any such tax WILL increase the final price to consumers. That is YOU and me. In the very long run, it may increase jobs in America but that is way away in the future. Are YOU willing to pay over 20% more for imported goods? Remember that some are components for other products such as cars, washing machines, refrigerators, etc which are ig ticket items.

This is not something that can be done unilaterally by TRUMPANZEE but revenue bills originate in The House. I doubt if Congress would approve such a tax increase.

Any ideas?

It is apparent thant demonizing is gaged by whether one agrees with the opposition....or not. It must be difficult to navigate where there are only one way streets.

Who cares how the wall gets paid for? I don't care if we, the taxpayer pay for it because the savings in the long run far exceed the cost. Billions of bucks are spent every year on illegals. Personally, putting snipers on the border would save money if the left really did wake up and suddenly cared about spending money. The left postures about spending money, all the long wanting to pay for free health care for the lazy, free phones for the lazy, free housing for the lazy, free food for the lazy and free cable TV and Internet for the lazy. It's about time Trump just plain told the left to STFU and sit down. They had their chance to make us into Europe, and blew it. Now, it's time for the adults to clean up the mess they left behind.

Most major cities are full of one way streets...people navigate quite well. Just because YOU get confused...doesn't mean the rest do.

And to come to the point YOU were trying to make...there ARE rights and wrongs...ONE WAY STREETS...murder, pedophilia, violence...ALL are "one way streets"...ALL are just plain wrong, no excuses...no "two way streets" there.

Just because YOU happen to not agree doesn't make it a "two way street".

just saying...you did what they did. You TOLD them what to think about something...you created a "one way street".
