Americans to Pay For Mexico Wall TWICE!

[The_Voice_of_Reason]

So we now know Trump's plan to have Mexico PAY FOR THE WALL...not exactly.

First, Trump has Congress approve 15 Billion to build the wall...which means we pay for the wall.

Second, he wants to slap a Tariff on goods coming from Mexico so that he can say, "See, told you Mexico would pay for the wall."

NO MR. TRUMP..."We the people will pay for the wall TWICE."

First we pay for it with our taxes, then we pay for the wall A SECOND TIME at the check out line at our local grocery store.

1. Soooo true!

We pay twice with higher food prices.😢😰

Can't that stupid orange man see this for himself?
Well his followers can be stupid too and believe the Mexicans are going to pay for the wall.
The crazy one depends on them being as stupid as he is.
That's about the only thing hrs correct about.

2. Does this mean my social security annual cost of living increase will be big in 2018?

With the costs of everything going up in 2017 with all of these tariffs, cost of living index, including inflation will go up. Social security annual increase will go up.

Sounds crazy!!!! It is!!!! But these are crazy times

It is the downstream effects that are just killing everything he tries.

Or maybe the repug congress will legislate a new "fake math" calculation to minimize any cost of living increase in SS in 2018.

3. It's my understanding...

that the Republicans plan on across the board cuts of up to 20 percent for Social Security.
