And howabout LONG TERM money. Not much fun making money now if it means making less money in the long run.

Like peeing in pants. Sure it warms for a while but then it gets less pleasant.

US tax payers are in for rude surprise when they realize they have to pay the wall Trump makes. Wonder how many poor/mid class person is going to be happy when they realize that money will be taken out of THEIR pocket...

eh... I think it's a bit silly to correlate the DJ to number of jobs...

If anything, there were arguments that the DJ would tank if Trumpesto was elected...

Veterans without jobs will also loose access to health insurance, be more likely to seek VA care instead, where there won't be enough people to care for them because there is no federal hiring.

The stock market ultimately is a poor reflection on actual market health and job growth, as most of the gains are in perceived value rather than actually anything produced, and those gains are largely captured by funds of various sorts and the ultrawealthy, not even the "well off" much less the average person (excepting any investments in things like 401k's that may be investrd in said funds, but that does little for most people's current lives).

Oh sure, his supporters will be happy with a wall. They also won't mind if an actual wall across the entire border of Mexico is never built or paid for by the Mexican state as long as the Trump administration is visibly doing something. Allowing more militias to patrol the border and throwing out suspected immigrants would be fine.

That's why claiming that a wall is obviously absurd in purely practical terms is missing the point. If it can be done, it will be built. But if it can't be done, the existing fences and surveillance systems will simply get expanded.

President Donald Trump has issued an executive order for a wall to be built along the southern US border with Mexico.
He also signed an action to strip funds from US cities that are sanctuaries for undocumented immigrants.


This'll work fine.

Trump has such a great record off paying off debts he incurs.

It would be an interesting in retrospect, but also horrifying time were we to see a rise in those militias just so Trump could save face. I doubt it though, as things would go rapidly downhill from there. He can thing other ways to sabotage the country.

Yeah, we really shouldn't be looking at the market for determining much of anything right now other than basic fundamentals. Wait five or six years and see where it seems to settle, then reappraise. Also, since people largely attributed Bush for the economic collapse (it wasn't his fault alone) after Obama took office, shouldn't we also applaud Obama for making the economy functioning again as Trump takes office? Thanks Obama! (Not sarcasticly)

Don't mind the wall... the cost is a drop in the bucket really...

What bothers me, is the fact that he's using EO to strip funds from Sanctuaries cities... I don't think that's kosher. I need to be passed in Congress.
