Does NAFTA produce enough funds? Probably, But that’s not what he said he was going to do. And the funds realized through NAFTA don’t directly flow into the Federal coffers. They help to offset the trade balance with companies doing business in Mexico.
It just upsets me that the guy promised that Mexico would pay for it knowing there is no way they would. So now you and I have to pay for it. What else has he misled us on?
Also, what guarantees does he offer that this solves the problem forever? If I have to pay for it, I want to know what I’m getting.
BTW, I agree the Federal workforce needs to be reduced. And serious spending cuts need to be implemented, and should have been with the change in the tax laws.
Did he say Mexico was going to write a check? If US companies now sell more goods to Mexico, or US goods are now sold more frequently here than before, wouldn’t that be Mexico paying for the wall through taxation?
How was he going to get Mexico to pay for the wall in the manner you believed? Is that actually misleading you or were you simply ignorant?
Can you name a politician who hasn’t lied about what he was going to do or misled us on how it would be done?
