I could not say it better, this ^^^.

Republicans will not create decent jobs either, mark my words.

And it's because the economics of the past don't work anymore. Not only can you not compete with cheap overseas labor in a global economy, you also have no answer for increased automation that is rendering human workers irrelevant. That is why economic equality is fundamentally growing so much.

You're still reading off of some economic textbook from the 1950s that does not apply.

I've read on CNBC that Trump's plan is bad but Hilary's economic plan is worse.

Why don't these "economic experts" have billions and billions... mega resorts all over the world, planes, yachts, the most beautiful apartment buildings?

You do realize these economic experts make 50k a year teaching at a local community college right?

Trump v Clinton: Comparing their economic plans - BBC News

Quote:
Mr Trump's campaign said the plan would reduce the amount of income the government collected by $4.4tn over a decade. This is far below the $9.5tn calculated by the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center in August. The Center said Mrs Clinton's plan would add $1.1tn in revenue over the next 10 years.

Quote:
Mr Trump has focused mostly on increasing manufacturing jobs, which have declined by around 5 million since 2000. Much of that decline has been caused by improvements in technology, however, not outsourcing.

Mrs Clinton's policy for jobs growth is a little more specific. She has called for increasing jobs training - in part paid for by tax revenue from wealthier Americans. She has pushed for infrastructure spending and investment in new energy to lift the number of jobs in those sectors.
Quote:
Mr Trump has not addressed how he will pay for these cuts, other than saying the changes will boost the economy and that will increase the tax base.
Mrs Clinton has said most of her spending increasing will be covered by tax increases, but it is unclear if those numbers entirely match up.

Because the most astute investors don't gamble with their money and they are frugal - they protect their nest egg and allow it to grow over time by taking the minimum risk with maximum gain. That means while many retire with a lot of money, they live modestly because they want to save more to invest. You will hardly ever see good economists buy jets, yachts, over renovate a home, etc; because those are waste of money. Plus, most economists did not inherit hundreds of millions of dollar like certain someone. So they have to live frugally in order to invest as much as they can to better more returns. They certainly do not go billions into debt and get into four bankruptcies like Trump.

Yes, I know someone like that, and he is on track to retire with several million bucks. Like I said, these people invest wisely and they know the key to affluence is to be patient and outperform the market. You don't seem to realize that it is much more difficult for a median income person to retire with several millions than for a multi-millionaire via inheritane to become a billionaire (assuming he is one).

I hear you. I feel like Hillary definitely knows more about the economy and more about money than Trump anyway.

That sounds pretty low. The chief economist at my last job had to be clearing well over $500K.
