Mexico has the RIGHT IDEA
Costco has the RIGHT IDEA
SeaWorld has the RIGHT IDEA
Disneyland has the RIGHT IDEA
Universal Studios has the RIGHT IDEA

What about the USA? Don't we get it?

Mexico has been charging tourists from around the world a $20 airport tax when you leave Mexico since the late 1980's they are not ashamed to do so, as it helps their economy and creates new jobs for Mexicans.

Costco charges $50 per year to shop in their store
SeaWorld charges $65 per person to visit SeaWorld
Disneyland charges $95 per person to visit Disneyland
Universal Studios charges up to $250 VIP per person to visit Universal Studios

Currently our roads and freeways are falling apart and any new freeways NOW have TOLLS on them which are paid by US commuters.

The Economic Recover Program starts with improving our infrastructure and creating new jobs within the USA. Printing money is a limited solution that will cost us (USA) dearly in the future. Charging a TOLL to Tourists from around the World and daily commuters and workers from Canada and Mexico will help get our economy up to speed and creates new jobs for the USA. This will not be hardship to anyone even workers from Canada and Mexico because this will stimulate the economy by raising their pay rates to off set their daily commuting expenses. By raising their rates companies in the USA will also begin offering better pay and so many USA residents can benefit from these pay raises.

With 55,986,000 Tourists (2007) annually coming to the USA from around the world at $20 per person TOLL it would generate 1.1 Billion dollars per year to help our economy, that's a whopping $3.1 million dollars per day. It's a GOOD start.

Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle are girding for battle over new deficit estimates due out today — perhaps as high as $2 trillion for 2009.

their will be a recoverly like in the early 80,s but i think the pardiam will change. India and China have a strong ecomory so thing won t be the same as they were. the gas or enrery for cars will need to change to create jobs for exmple.

We already assess taxes/fees on international tourists at the airport.
