Wall Street Journal: Economists Say Inflation, Deficits Will Be Higher Under Trump Than Harris

"Particularly reassuring, several economists said, was a large upward revision by government statisticians to the estimated share of personal incomes that are being saved. The revision showed U.S. households squirreled away $454 billion more in July than previously believed. Since consumer spending drives about two-thirds of economic output, a higher saving rate suggests the expansion has legs to run further."

WSJ is for educated high income Republicans, aka non-MAGA Republicans.

Think they will vote for Harris?

Does it matter? He's going to be throwing everyone in jail on Day One and starting Armageddon on Day Two.

....according to The DL

Of course. Republicans always blow up the deficit with huge tax cuts for rich fucks. It's their Prime Directive.

And people blame Biden for the inflation that happened 2 years ago, when it was the delayed effect of Trump's policies.

Not to mention for anyone on any type of govt assistance (Social Security, etc), those payments were increased pegged to inflation.

And wages increased more than inflation:

Since February 2020, the Consumer Price Index has climbed a cumulative 20.8%, according to Bureau of Labor Statistics data. Over that same period, average hourly earnings rose 22.3%.

What makes you so cocksure he won't, R3?

When licking Trump's fetid shithole, does he whisper sweet nothings to you about his plans if he gets reelected?

I don't think a Harris economy will be any better, but I think Trump's will end up being a lot worse.

R6, maybe seek treatment for your TDS, especially if Trump wins. It is really pushing you over the edge.

R8, I prefer to think I have "faux populist trying to pass his lying, grifting con-artist self off as a patriot while wiping his fat, white entitled ass with the US Constitution" syndrome.

Whatever it is, R6 & R9, do get help.

I will, once disgusting assholes/pieces of shit like you and Trump have disappeared from the face of the planet.

The Biden/Harris economy is ALREADY better than the Economy under Trump. Inflation is now down to 2%; prices on such major indicators like gas and home prices, along with the lowering of the prime interest rates has spurred consumer spending. As far as industries like pharmaceuticals and grocery company was that grossly inflate their prices only out of greed- NOT the rate of inflation- and yes Kamala has a set plan for that such as calling out these companies and holding their feet to the fire. The GDP is fantastic compared to Trump's economy. And don't get me started on the unemployment numbers and the stock market!
