You mean take it out of our taxes? That's usually how such infrastructure is built, yes.

Of course, he promised that Mexico would pay for it, but you don't seem to care about that.

They're paying for it in a round-about way. What? You think they'll just hand over cash?

F**k you're gullible. You are that ignorant that you are f**king blinded yet don't seem to care. What kind of sven gali has trump over you, you poor sob.

You mean we're paying for it in a round-about way. We pay more for the stuff we import from Mexico, their profit margins are identicle.

Taxes going to something important for once.

Ok. But understand, you don't care Trump was bullshitting when he very clearly said it wouldn't be paid for through our taxes, Mexico would pay for it - direct or indirect.

Yeah, I don't care. No one with half a brain knew Mexico wasn't going to pay for it directly.

Trump supporters aren't as stupid or inbred as Don Lemon say we are.

Yup, that f**king gullible. That f**king stupid too.

Okay Canadian, stay in your lane. Have fun with your cuck of a prime minister and us Americans will worry about whether or not Mexico is paying for a border wall.

See, you say that, but when we were all "he's bullshitting" y'all were like "dumb liberals don't understand economics".

So.

As I already said, Mexico is paying for it in a round-about way. And if we're paying on it as well, finally our taxes going to something legal and worth it.

Again, Mexico ain't paying a dime in it. We are. Higher cost of imports from Mexico.

But noooooo, tarrifs are good, they raise prices from the manufacturers and the shippers so the consumer pays for it, we're not consumers, we're americans, see how that works?

I dunno man. I'm TRYING to see how their feeble minds work, I just feel stupider now.

We don't know what the long-term implications are yet. Unless we're going off what NAFTA did. Otherwise it's just speculation/ more promises at this point.

Your right and wrong at the same time...the tariffs worked as expected leading to getting rid of NAFTA and replacing it with the USMCA resulting in better financial deals in trade with Mexico and Canada making jobs and saving money by fair trade.

The old trade agreement (NAFTA)had the US paying an overly disproportionate amount of tariffs on both incoming and outgoing goods in some cases 270%

And now China is caving in as well signing the first part of the new trade agreements.

So yeah in the short-term there is financial pains for the consumer but now that it worked forcing renegotiations more in our favor it's a financial win for the United States and we will be better off.

I'm guessing this is all new information to you considering your comment sounded like it was directly inspired by MSNBC talking points.

PS you spelt "tarrif" wrong it's tariff,you might want to fix that before some spelling Nazi calls ya a dumbass.

Here is the truth. Trump supporters got lied to but you don't care because you're a bunch of racist old farts who want America to be like it was in the 40's and 50's.

Y'ALL got any more of those liberal catch phrases to call us.

Not exactly but calling disagreeing people "racist" and the taking America back to the 50s totally is.

Because I'm going to call bullsh*t if you are.

Using the racist excuse again? Okay racist.

Taxes also pay for border patrol, welfare, deportations, immigration lawyers, etc, etc.

Don’t act like repairing and adding to the border wall is some kind of new burden on taxpayers.

What if they huff and puff and wanna blow your wall down? HA HA HA HA HA, get it? Cuz the wind last week? Ha ha ha ha.

🐺 That wolf must be a Democrat 😁

All beside the point. Don't act like Trump didn't LIE.

Oh please. You act like Trump is the only president who lied about something, grow up.

No I'm talking about the only moron we have in the Oval Office right now. And no, I don't think it's cool for him to cut SNAP, Medicaid/Medicare, disability benefits to pay for the stupid fence either.

We’re you worried about lies when this moron was in the Oval Office?

Yes, I was actually. But that was like 11 years ago so... Right now I'm concerned with Liar in Chief we currently have.

OK, let's see an example of you posting about Obama's lies on social media.

I'll wait . . .

LMAO you're going to be waiting a long time then because I wasn't doing sh*t on social media in 2008 when Obama was making his campaign promises.

I'm sure that's the way Trump puts it too. Like it just gets "magically" paid for even though we're all paying for it when he promised a hundred times that Mexico would pay.

i'm also sure that the democrats shut down the government so trump couldn't build his wall.

Are you all retarded at once, or do you take turns with the "retard talking stick"?

ya know what the only thing you know how to come back at someone is instead of laying down facts, you insult people.
good job! you're wasting your life!

Fact; trump said mexico will pay for the wall
Fact; trump said he would repeal and replace ACA
Fact; trump uses insults and name calling daily

Because they wouldn't let him r@pe the taxpayers for his BS wall it's the Dems' fault for the shutdown? How about Trump wasn't keeping one of his biggest campaign promises?

Bingo!

Why should the taxpayers pay for some BS fence that can't even withstand 35 mph winds, btw, when he said repeatedly Mexico was going to pay for it?

I'm guessing you get all of your news fron CNN and they left out the part in their reporting that the freshly installed section of wall only fell because the cement foundation that it's attached to wasn't dry yet when the winds came in and blew it down.

Agent Carlos Pitones of the Customs and Border Protection in El Centro, California, told CNN that the new concrete foundation had no yet cured when the wall panels fell down from windy conditions.

This is a classic example of why we call CNN Fake News.

Yes I know about the cement story. I guess no one heard of bracing newly installed steel beams set in cement? (Which if you bothered to think about it, is a ridulous story on so many levels).

Your just a wall"O"phone that wants the country to go back to the 2010s 😁

My IRS penalty was much higher than that.

Well thank goodness Trump repealed AND REPLACED Obamacare with something better!

Granted, it wasn't much of one. You could've bought Health Insurance, applied for the ACA if you couldn't afford it, or suffer the $800 deductible from your tax returns. Likely resulting you paying it. Still cheaper than most Health Insurance yearly payments... but not necessarily cheaper than the ACA.

Hi there Dr. Thanks for your response I found the 3 choices humourous,not shure if you intended it to be though.

My issue with Obama Care is that it left me with your 3rd choice after eliminating my plan(yes I was happy with my doctor/plan) and causing me to have to choose between a plan with a huge deductible (worthless to me) for around the $240 a month I was paying or over $4 something for a plan that had a higher deductible than what I had,At that point I couldn't afford it anymore.

Here is the deal if you gross more than 43,000 a year you won't qualify for any Obama care subsidies.

My first year without health insurance hit my tax return at around $8OO,(there goes my tax return) the second year I remember very well it cost $1,149 that hurt and pissed me off at the same time and here is why, The government was fining me for not buying something that they caused me to not be able to afford.I don't care what anyone says that's fraked up.

I wasn't alone in this I talked to many people that saw their healthcare premiums skyrocket,lost their plans,ended up with worse plans for more money and people like me that lose it all together.

Now I don't mean to sound callus here but if a person is disabled physically/mentally we have programs for that like social security/welfare programs.

So I don't have much sympathy for able bodied people that are capable of working for their healthcare and just want it for free so they have more money at their disposal.

There is no such thing as free healthcare, it just raises the price on the people that are paying into the system so others don't have to.

A.C.A aka the affordable Care act...lol even the name was bs

Yes, that was Romney's Healthcare plan which was a version of the Healthcare plan, then called HEART (Health Equity and Access Reform Today) that was proposed during Bush Sr.'s era in an effort to gain reform popularity among new Republican candidates. However, their seniors understood the repercussions of screwing over the insurance industry then and were too scared to put anything like that down. The ACA was designed to fail as the Republicans would not sign off on it without the deductible. Which the Democrats and Republicans compromised would kick in just in the middle of Obama's second term. Again, this was by design. Whether Romney or Obama had won, that penalty was specifically put in there for you to hate Obama. Hence why you casually refer to it as ObamaCare.

What would put an end to the suffering of America is if Republicans and Democrats stop trying to sell the American people on popular ideas that are only going to increase spending. Like Healthcare Acts that are designed to screw over the Middle Class, or Walls that don't contribute to any meaningful effect on border security. Constantly screwing us over in the short term so that they can debate on how things didn't "turn out" the way we wanted them to and push for reform of something else we don't want either. And they screw us in the long term the more our spending increases and we fail to raise taxes to pay off not just our failing government but the debt we are accruing that will inevitably lead us to default.

They wanted me to pay $600 a month for insurance. I didn't and it was cheaper to pay the doctor's visits plus the penalty at the end of the year. They finally let me opt out on my tax returns last year because there was no affordable health insurance in my area.

Private health insurance is far greater than government health care. It isn't the government's job to insure its people.

It isn't ANYONE'S job to insure health. You're putting a for-profit model on the management of risk that at some point in your life, your health MIGHT decline.

This is a no-brainer. EVERYONE'S health declines at some point in their lives. It's not an insurance thing. It's a service we all use at different points in our lives and it should be administered as such.

Again, not the government's responsibility. It should remain private. Yes, there are flaws. But not the government's job.

Yeah, you guys are doing awesome, far and above any of the other first world countries without universal healthcare, bubble burst, you're the only first world country without universal healthcare.

Yeah, cause Canada is doing so well with its universal health care. How long you going to wait to get a hip replacement? I guess that doesn't matter to you since you're not old yet.

Our tax dollars already pay for a system that will fix you if your health declines and you can't afford to do anything about it.

You want free healthcare move to Canada

Why are so many people going bankrupt from health care bills? Is THAT the “system?” If so it sucks.
