What to Expect for Inflation, Jobs, and the Deficit After Trump or Harris Wins

Inflation, jobs, and the deficit are pivotal issues in the upcoming elections. Current polling suggests that Americans view economic stability as urgent. This article delves into how the policies proposed by Trump and Harris may shape the future economic landscape.
Potential Effects of Trump’s Policies
If Trump secures another term, we might see inflationary pressures continue, especially if tax cuts are reinstated. The deficit could widen due to increased spending without effective revenue increases.
Unemployment Trends
- Tax reforms aimed at businesses
- Job creation programs to boost recovery
Potential Effects of Harris’s Policies
