You didn't miss anything, some live in their own little universe where everything Obama did was bad.

Democrats drive me crazy gimmick plans like the Stimulus which the money was lost and no today can figure out where the money went! Your unemployment's numbers do not apply to those who has given up. The actual rate is 9% You success has been minimized because of the creditability of the Obama Administration to issue accurate numbers.


Trumps plan looks at every asset of the Economy from Trade Reforms, Energy to proper acceptable tax rates for Citizens and Corp. alike.


Clinton endorses more Gov. and les private business. Plus she think our trade agreements are just fine.

I saw a report saying the same thing.

The well informed are seldom spoon fed. It does nothing to increase self reliance and ambition to improve knowledge.

Throwing out the 2016 buzzword 'globalism' doesn't make Trump's economic plan, which is essentially the same as Romney's economic plan -- slashing taxes on the wealthy and hoping that trickle-down economics will work this time, any more valid.

Trump's plan is a repackaging of GOP economic plans that we already know from past experience, haven't worked. We know that slashing taxes only reduces revenue and creates more debt.

Instead of magically increasing GDP by 4%, these plans haven't lived up to their promises (surprise.)

Sorry, that's economic illiteracy. The stimulus was a one-time expenditure that reduced the length of the recession, which means it was responsible for less debt, not more. By jump-starting the economy, jobs returned faster and allowed workers to pay taxes sooner, increasing government revenue. That's exactly what happened and it's why the deficit has dropped by 75%.

In some respects it sort like the Bill Clinton planed planned by Newt G.


the whole problem is we have the highest taxes on corp. We wonder why companies leave America?


the other half of the equation is to balance or make a attempted to look at what is being spent. I like the Idea that each depart has report surpluses and or identify wasted spending.


Dems have no room to Bragg about GDP wince its at a pathetic level of 1.1% .Not good if you considers China GNP is around 6%. Successful Presidents had GDP better than 4%.


This was all done in making the tax rate attractive to business.


Hillarie's plan is more taxes on everybody and more Gov. Investment , which means wasted money and corruption. Clinton is no stranger to Corruption!

If there are economic experts, where have they been during the almost 8 year reign of Obama, why weren't they advising him not to continue to run up the debt, doubling or was it tripling it?

Trump is fine. He has set goals, may not make them all, but anything will better than what we have now or would get with the morally, mentally and physically incompetent Hillary Clinton. I mean, it is more of the same and things have gotten so much worse.

I think it is amusing that some are so ignorant to believe that Trump just sat down by himself and dreamed up an economic plan. He will have talked with the best and trusted experts in the field, so I guess whoever was quoted in the article, even if they even were, weren't much of "experts" in the first place.

Trump steams ahead and with massive support!
