Triple-A debt club

[Muddy]

There are 15 countries that still hold a triple A rating in the debt club.

Can anyone point out the similarity between all 15 countries?

I'm happy you asked.I take 1000 dollars and cross the border into Washington.Then I buy goods (for lower prices) and spend the entire 1000.
Then I come back up, pay duty on the items and subtract the cost of gas and hotel room for two nights.


so far after 3 trips, I'm at almost -374 dollars

We have people importing cars at our office... one guy said he saved $6000-8000 between the strong dollar and cheaper prices when he imported a Lexus RX350!! Even after you pay the 12% HST and a guy $2000 to drive it to the border.

Speaking of which... you guys need an HST down there 12% on all the goods and services we buy. Kind of sucks but the tax is necessary.

I would be all for a 1% Federal Sales Tax....it would raise a ton of money even at 1% and it would affect everyone fairly

That's the key right there....wait until the exchange is good and then buy a big ticket item that would normally retail for thousands more up here


Fook me man I've spent a lifetime watching the American dollar be higher than ours...at one point we were at 86 cents or something stupid like that.You couldn't even watch a TV show with an American locale on it without losing money
