Good idea. Mexicans can do all those jobs that Chinese slave laborers aren't willing to. |

I would think it a good idea because Mexico is going to need to borrow money from someone so they can pay for that wall that we are going to build. |

The Chinese built a very good wall back in the day. They can help the Mexicans with the engineering of the wall that they are going to build for us. |

You don't think they will cover that tariff by raising their prices? |

That's how business is transacted. The cost of doing business gets passed on to the customers. (You know that) If it isn't sold in the USA, it'll be sold somewhere else. In the end, if Trump is expecting this to be the pay back for his wall, it's gonna come from the pockets of the consumers of the Mexican goods sold in the USA. It won't be Mexico paying for any wall and that's the notion that Trump is selling in this bottle of snake oil. Ps, he will fool a sizable number of people that want to believe that lie.

Silly CT. you really should learn to think these things through. If you'd sit down and really think about it, apply a little simple math you'll find out that raising the price to offset the tariff would result in pricing themselves out of a competitive market. If you'd like I can help you with the math. |

LOL, left wing logic would have it that raising the price to offset the tariff will fix everything. :oyvey Edited by ringotuna, Jan 27 2017, 07:33 AM.

Then you'll just spend more money for something else. Either way it comes out of your pocket. |

I think you're still confused. Do ya like beans? Say for example a Mexican company sells a can of beans in the US for 1.00 A comparable US can of beans sells for 1.10 Ok, Trump slaps a 20% tariff on the Mexican beans and they're now 1.20 So now they raise the price of the beans to 1.20 to offset the tariff. 1.40 And now the 20% tariff applies to the new price. The Mexican beans are now 1.44 1.10 vs 1.44 The Mexican's have priced themselves out of the market. Like I told you in the first place. That wouldn't be a very good idea. |

The Soviets filled the void? You mean after they nationalized our industries? How did that relationship work out with the Russians? Cubans living the dream? Why didn't the Russians sell them rafts? Safety first! |

I didn't say that it worked out great for either Russia or Cuba. I said they filled the vacuum |
