Paying for the Trump Wall Boondoggle

Bob Carbaugh and Toni Sipic

Challenge, 2017, vol. 60, issue 4, 386-396

Abstract: Trump’s wall is among the more controversial proposals made by the new president. The authors discuss and evaluate the economics of several wall-funding proposals in detail, including: remittance tax, border tax, and border adjustment proposals. At bottom, the wall would be a very expensive proposition.
