Yeah well, I fail to see the difference. The clowns we sent to Washington habitually drains this country too. Like that $6 Trillion they’ve pyssed away in Iraq and Afghanistan since 2001.
We’re running 20 trillion in debt with no end in sight. Our municipalities are struggling to get more revenue, our infrastructure is crumbling to pieces, and we’re dropping a billion and a half a week in Afghanistan that we have to borrow!
No one's pointing a gun at you telling you to live out of your means.
Nice try...only problem is that I don’t believe the hype. Everyone on CD is rich and lives within their means if you let them tell it. I know it’s all bull.
Fact is, if 78% of Americans are living check to check and can’t come up with $500 bucks, YOU’RE no exception. You’re in the 78%...not the 22%. If I had to place a bet on it, chances are I’d win it. I almost can’t lose on that bet.
So miss me with the whole deal about trying to sound as if you’re the exception.
As we know, Trump constantly bullies and threatens - people, businesses, and even entire countries. Some people can't threaten back, some don't because they try not to stoop to his level, and some won't, because they're hoping cooler heads will prevail.
But it would have been fun if, when Trump threatened tariffs, Mexico announced that they would start running free buses to funnel Guatemala migrants directly to the U.S. southern border.

Always with the "we know". I hate to break your TDS bubble but "we" do NOT agree with your crap!
" it would have been fun if," All you have is if, maybe, could, wish, etc.
Sorry, I live in the REAL world, not some make believe pie in the sky wishes!

Of course-
Mexico does not have that "muscle" and is completely dependent on US trade.
Would it have been "funny" if millions of Mexicans lost their jobs and went hungry (like in Venezuala) as a result?
Grown ups know that politics is not a game and has consequences for real people. To libs, the consequences of scoring political points, regardless of how many people it harms, is irrelevant.

As an American, I'm glad that Mexico did not best Trump this time.
If I were them, I would not have done as you say. That is a Trumpish/childish response. If I were them (and I'm so glad they didn't) I would have responded to the 25% tariff by reaching out to China and others to get stuff cheaper on the free market.
Again, we are so lucky that Trump's Mexico tactics have not backfired. We got lucky that they were able to give him the ego-boost he needed by promising something they'll never deliver. He saved face with his base, they avoided the tariffs, and nothing will change. (In contrast, China is now getting their soy and some other products from new sources. American farmers are the losers, and will likely not get that business back. #winning)
Who are you kiddng? Mexico is so capitalist that it puts the United States to shame. You right wingers can only DREAM that the U.S. could be as capitalist as Mexico.
Lol...Mexico is the Republican Shangri-La. A virtual right wing paradise. You really don’t know what you’re talking about calling Mexico a socialist country. You’ve obviously never been there or have a clue about the place. Every time I drive down, I think about how proud the American Right would be if our country could only be like Mexico.
Yeah. DH used to do some business with one of THE Families. I don't think many Americans really know how the place is run. My nephew works for a builder on the Baja, has lived there for 30 years. It's a different world.
But, IMO, Mexico pretty much does run transportation from Guatemala to the river. That train people jump on for free.
