re: Trump to impose 20% import tax on Mexican goods to pay for wall

One of a couple things happen here, either Mexico caves because this means a slight and temporary inconvenience for us consumers but a complete devestation of the Mexican economy. Mexico doesn't cave, tanks their own economy because demand for everything they make has now dropped in their largest market and factories close left and right, then they cave anyway. Meanwhile American slack manufacturing capacity kicks in and we start making some of our own stuff again (which neither Mexico or China wants to happen), and any of a number of other countries who would love better penetration I to our markets fill in any gaps. Mexico is in a dire position, we face a slight inconvenience

Wrong. Another swing and a miss. Mexican coffee is Robusto. Colombian coffee is Arabica. The prices are separated on the world market. You peons who buy coffee in the store will be effected. Starbucks only uses Arabica.
Zach, never change.

Yep, I'm fairly certain el presidente trump can impose temporary tariffs without congressional approval.
What a time to be alive!

OK, you're retarded and don't understand what an import is. It's a product that comes from another country. The product imported from Canada may contain elements that came from the labor or resources of 100 other countries.
But the product is imported from Canada. Only from Canada. If you put an import tax on the product from Canada it only effects the products coming from Canada.
Not from the other 100 countries.
Don't you feel like a moron?

Trump doesn't need Congress. He can impose tariffs under "emergency powers" the same way Nixon imposed price controls.

That's OK. Here is a puppy pic to make you feel all better about yourself:

Idiotic. Way too severe. A small tax wouldn't be defensible from an ideological standpoint. But it would likely have very limited impact.
This is simply idiocy.

OK, i think you're trolling like a boss but if not, have you ever heard of Assembled In America?
Hundreds and hundreds of US based companies do this... their components are imports. What happens to them? If they source only domestic components, do prices on their products go up or down? Would they go out of business within 12 months?
Do you drink Prestone? Are you located near a mercury dump?

So what do you think about that Jack?

Yeah but the raw materials of a product made in the US could come from Mexico. So you're not quite right on this. If you buy a jack with a "made in USA" tag, it might have raw materials from Mexico. Of course, it depends on how the tariff is imposed.

There are times in history we would have gone to war with Mexico for what they have done in the past several years.
It is time they were brought to heel.

Now you are just making shite up. How do you know the supply routs of all raw materials and component parts? The shoe glue may come from Mexico into the U.S. and then go in a shipment to an assembly plant in Vietnam. How do you know? We are talking about hundreds of billions of dollars in goods moving back and forth across our southern border, with the net being if they move south to north, we get taxed.
Go ahead, make up some more stuff. Then collect it for your next novel.

What you will have is more American consumers buying US made products vs Mexican made which will boost our economy and stop propping up Mexico's.
