I like Becks, haven't had it in years though.

Had it the other day. Time for a Corona this weekend (Before price shoots up 20 percent)

Not a big fan of the regular Corona, Corona lite isn't bad though. Same with Sam Adams for me, I don't like the regular, but do like the Lite.

I love how 80% of the convo here is about beer ?

I don't mean to derail this thread(I mean the topic is beer right?) but I wanna say something about this whole import thing more generally, not just pertaining to Mexico. As I said before I have no problem pointing out where I believe Trump is wrong and here's one of them: US gross domestic investment(of which productivity growth is highly dependent on and is a huge contributer to GDP) booms come with "deteriorating" trade balances and not the other way around. Where you have more exports than imports domestic investment starts turning negative.

 

 

This is a problem.

Import tax on beer from Mexico wouldn't bother me much. Just don't tax the beer coming from Europe. In the end though beer would be the least of my worries. Plenty of craft breweries making good stuff here. Would hate to pay 20% on top of buying Scotch.

i don't work with any imports from mexico but yeah foreign wine and liquor..sort of a big deal.

 

where did i read yesterday that spicer floated the 20% tax eventually covering all imports (not just mexico), or was that something he rambled about on the campaign trail??

you wouldn't want eating avocados or tomatoes picked up by the rapists and criminals anyway , right? 

Mexicans are filthy and dangerous, you know it! *

 

My husband had to fall in love with a Mexican right now, in this political climate, didn't he? 

 

 

*I hope everyone realizes I'm being sarcastic, since I'm one of those horrible Mexicans.
