American households may as well gear up to fit the bill for President Donald Trump’s Mexico Wall. The estimated$15 billion project will cost American’s $120 if Mexico stick to their plan of non-reimbursement to the U.S.. Last week, Trump signed the executive order to begin building the wall. The bipartisan Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget found that $120 per U.S. household would be added to the national debt, which totals over $19 trillion currently. If the wall is constructed, the national debt will rise if Mexico doesn’t fund it. Another option for paying down on this $15 billion project is charging a 20 percent tax on goods imported from Mexico. This option, however, will strain American pockets when the price for consumer goods skyrocket. House Speaker Paul Ryan confirmed that there are several ways Mexico could pay the U.S. back, but Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto insisted that the country would not pay for the massive project. In an attempt to talk this through, Trump and Nieto cancelled a meeting between the two. Both leaders agreed that the meeting would have been “fruitless”. Reportedly, a phone call about the wall occurred sometime on last Friday.
