Gallup Report: Obama Approval rating

I hope he pushes for legislation to tax those overseas remittances which are sent thru companies like western union.

my numbers might be off. its something like 4 billion dollars are sent overseas, 2 billion sent south of the USA. Originally Posted by dilbert firestorm

SSN, photo ID matching SSN, automatic withholding, 20%.

The only Poll that counts is the one held on Nov 6, 2016.

That Poll not only gave President Trump an overwhelming Electoral College Win, in increased The Republican's hold on Stae Governorships and State Legislatures.

In the past 8 years, the Democrats have lost over 1200 seats in various State Houses. The Republicans controle the Federal Government.

What could be more of a repudiation of the Obama/Pelosi era than this.

November 8th?

These losers are looking for a straw to which they can cling after their excuses have been debunked .. one bullshit lie at a time.

The started their victory lap too early and lost sight of reality.

History for them is repeating itself. Listen to Schumer AND Pelosi!

Neither one of them "get it"! They act like they are still "in charge"!

Trump always proved to be pretty creative. What I see him doing is recruiting a large number of Hispanic inmates who are serving lengthy sentences to build the wall. Intern the remainder of their sentences will be diverted to time served upon completion of the wall. So in a way Mexico is paying for the wall. That's how things get done when you have a leader who is creative and not afraid to do what others said he couldn't.

And who pays for it when Mexican producers reduce their product costs in order to remain competitive in the American market?

What I'd suggest...if they want to go the tariff route....is to pick imports that already have plenty of competition here from USA or other countries....and tax only those so that the retail prices go above fair market and ether:

1 - MexCo's have to lower their price/profit to be competitive, or

2 - MexCo's suffer the consequences and fold, or

3 - Mexican government has to subsidize the MexCo's to prevent 2 above.

They thought it was for "tourism" ... like Germany's "autobahn" system!!!

Then someone popped off about how the Mexican military could "kick ass" if the U.S. tried to invade Mexico! Out of touch!

When the Liberals start whining about Mexico, bla, bla, bla, I love to remind them that Veracruz, Mexico, was a German UBoat base during WWII .... and post WWII there were more Germans (former military and Nazis) in Mexico than in Brazil ... some of the best German food I've had was in Guadalajara ... owned for a former Colonel in the Heer and his twin brother who served in the Luftwaffe and fled Europe as a Colonel!

Mexico has great corn fed pork!

I'll raise a Bohemia to that^^^^^

Yesterday evening I heard a "pundit" talking about how Mexico "protects" its Southern border and the U.S. "needs" to get along with Mexico because they "protect their Southern border" and that benefits the U.S.!!!!

Does anyone know where the Chinese delivered automatic weapons for the Mexican mountain guerrillas in 60's .. 70's ... and 80's ... etc ....?

Keep in mind: Mexico's "gun ban" and "gun control" laws!!!!

I guess you think Trump is going to suck up property taxes into the Federal government to pay for the fence! Gasoline tax? (That's a "consumer" tax!) ... A tax on an avocado from Mexico is not an "income tax" it's a consumer tax.

"Word"?

Are you drinking this early in the day?
