Waterdawg comments on No Free trade with Colombia

" 816 " ..Second, Colombia sorely needs to lower its protectionist policies and a TLC will do this immediately. Why do you think you pay almost double for any technology product here in Colombia? Why do you think the infrastructure is so chitty? Because technology and heavy machinery are both taxed to the point that they can not be imported without restrictive prices. ............................................................................................................... Try Zippers ! Yea Zipper from the States .. I need some antique finished heavy duty Zipper for several leather Jackets we make here.. It dam near costs me more in import tax's , than the cost of the Zippers .. I had a customer ship us Buffalo hides to make some special wallets for one of their customers .The hoops and cost were out of this world. I ended up paying an agent 300,000 cop just to go down and live with them for a week to get the hides out of customs and still payed through the nose ..

Waterdawg comments on PBH Economic Forecast Symposium

We are all products of our environments as I have mentioned several times before .. My Grandparents, ( both sides of the family , one from England the other Ireland ) escaped Europe just before the turn of the century ( 1885-1890 ) Made their way in the New World ( the States ,lol ) The story's told of tough times .. My Parents lived through the depression ( The biggy ) and WW2 .. All that and my passion for history is planted in what little brain I have left !
