  • Summary

  • How will the Trump and Harris economic plans affect your investing? One candidate is looking to increase affordable housing and give homebuyers a break on their first property. The other plans to keep taxes low so you can save more money. Both are concerned about inflation and rising costs, but will either of their plans correct the national budget deficit we constantly find ourselves in? We’re digging into the 2024 election economics on this BiggerNews episode with economist Joel Naroff. First, we’re discussing what happens economically during elections as Americans brace for a new president. Then, we dive into Harris’ economic plan and stance on inflation, cost of living, and affordable housing. She also has her eye on raising taxes for high-income earners, but will she bring things back to the pre-Trump era? Next, the Trump economic plan. Just like in his presidency, Trump plans to reduce taxes even more, which could help those on social security and those who make their income from tips. The question is, will this loss of tax revenue put too much of a dent in our government’s budget and push us further into a deficit? Could Trump’s pro-tariff stance help stimulate local manufacturing and increase tax revenue from imported goods? We’re answering it all on this BiggerNews! In This Episode We Cover Trump vs. Harris’ economic plans explained and how they may affect investors More affordable housing and Harris’ call to build millions of more housing units Trump’s plan to push foreign goods out of the US with higher import tariffs Rolling back Trump’s tax cuts and how Harris could increase taxes on corporations and high-earners Social security income and the benefit (but high cost) of lowering taxes on it How both of these plans could affect the national budget deficit And So Much More!
