    He was on the road to doing so until the feds raised interest rates more in one year than they did in Obama's eight years.

    Yes a crooked idiot born with a golden spoon, possessing absolutely no shame, who bullies, lies and cheats. If he had taken daddy's 400 mill and put it in the bank, he;d be richer today than he claims. It takes real genius to under perform a savings account.

    Imagine, the Fed actually adjusting policy based on economic performance and not partisan whinging.

    Other than keeping out refugees and economic migrants, you think a wall is going to stop drugs and criminals and terrorists from entering the US illegally?

    Aren't you one of those people who think that gun control won't stop criminals from finding a way to obtain them?

    The fed is being too agressive by purposely keeping the economy below 3% GDP. They have never before set the threshold for economic growth so low for supposed fear of inflation

    Refugees and economic migrants are the main target here. We can't absorb all the poor and refugees from all the corrupt countries to our south

    That would be usa tax payers of a mostly useless wall. Unless the wall eliminates illegal immigrants. It won't.

    It's their job to even economy ebbs. That is why they started in 2015. The economy was going good. We survived bush and Rs and had a good enough recovery to start raising rates.
    Way better than that recession. I would think you would agree.

    Walls won't work. Over. Under. Around. Smuggling thru still happen. We already have border walls as fences.

    Your assinine ad hom proves you know the wall will be mostly useless.

    So better to spend billions more supporting low skilled illegals. Israel’s wall is 99% effective. Walls work. Mostly useless 1% of the time is a losing argument.

    How will it stop illegals. It won't. You ignoring doesn't change that simple fact.
    We are not Israel. We have a gulf. 2 oceans. And a huge northern border.

    In 2011 inflation was 3% but feds didn't raise rates. Suddenly 2% is their threshold.

    Actually walls do work.

    San Diego: Where a Border Wall Works
    "Border wall brought deluge of illegal immigration down to a trickle"

    [​IMG]
    San Diego Border Patrol agent Tekae Michael at the western end of the U.S.–Mexico border barrier in San Diego on July 12. The “PV-1” barrier is designed to stop both pedestrians and vehicles from illegally crossing the border. (Joshua Philipp/The Epoch Times)

    “Before this primary fence was built, migrants were coming north with no fencing, no barrier to stop them,” Michael said, noting that before they began constructing the initial barrier in 1991, people were “driving basically straight on through the border.”

    “So this primary fence was built to stop those huge loads of people and narcotics,” she said.

    These days, it’s relatively quiet. Michael notes that on this tour of the border wall, it’s unlikely we’ll encounter many people trying to cross illegally—something that would have been a common sight in the 1980s and ’90s"

    Someone I know said his daughter went to India. She said it is terribly polluted there. She said the air was thick with smog and there was trash everywhere, including feces. Maybe the wind pushes that pollution right into China where they wear masks to prevent from breathing it? Maybe it then combines with what is being created in China and Indonesia, then moves through the air to California and the mainland U.S.? Is that even possible?

    When I read that our air here is better and better, I often wonder why when we do our part, we still need to pay for those nations who do not?

    And it exists. No need for more. What part of the border that is accessible, isn't protected?

    No one can help you if you don't understand ebbs of the economy.
    Why would you think inflation rate is the only metric that is used to determine interest rates?

    Nice to see you admit Obama's economy was growing so slow even 3% inflation didn't trigger feds to raise rates.

    No change of tune. I've never said otherwise. I have said, and will say, they don't stop illegals from coming. There is always over, under, around, and smuggled through.
    The issue is cost vs benefit.

    Nice of you to admit, we have barriers already. So no need for more. For you didn't tell us where there needs additional barriers.

    Huh, obama was pres in 2015 when they started raising rates? Memory is failing you?
    Or is your claim, And it seems to be, inflation is the ONLY reason for raising rates?

    Lets get you on record, Are interest rates the only reason for raising or not raising interest rates? Yes or No
    Simple Q&A
