Dear God.....rank amatuers who do not know what they are doing.

A 20% across the board import tax on all goods coming from Mexico.   President Trump's Press Secretary cannot even do elementary math, and is one of the most clueless people I have ever heard.   He thinks that tariff will raise 10 billion, try six times that amount or sixty billion on over 300 billion of imports.

The worse part this fricking fool does not know who is going to pay for the import tax.  The American Consumer.   As Lindsey Graham tried to dumb down his response to Spicer, he made it simple......paying more for Tequila is not a good idea.   It is much worse than that.   The component parts which go into our export industries will now be across the board 20% more expensive.  This is like kindergarten children showing up at GATT trade talks in the sixties and seventies with crayons......dear god.....we need to all pray, and hope some traditional Republicans in Congress can slow this train wreck down.

Not only are they amateur's the people who voted for him really believe the 20% will not affect them in higher cost of goods.

Nor will they understand layoffs on our largest export manufacturers who now lose market share as they are priced out of the market, not by the Republican standard of free economic choice, but by big government picking the winners and losers.
