Who's really better for the world economy? | Business Beyond

America First, or America and Friends? In this edition of Business Beyond, we look at presidential hopefuls Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, and who might be better for the world economy - as examined through the lens of what we know about their planned trade and energy policy. Will Trump's tariff-everything-plan put the United States ahead, or will Harris's multilateralist approach be better all around? Will the plan to "drill, baby, drill" catapult the US into what Trump likes to call energy dominance, or will Harris' lean towards renewables attract more investment? And most importantly - how does this all affect you?

The economy doesn't have feelings. The real question is: Who's better for our freedoms and dignity?

Reducing inflation just means prices rise less quickly, it does not mean we will ever see prices lower in relation to income. It is the drip drip drip of increasing price vs current pay that the American worker feels.

Low federal corporate tax rates + union dues are optional + Universal tariff rates on all imports = Banana Republic Economics 😮.

When I talk about "high prices" I am not referring to the current inflation number relative to last year, but the effect of cumulative inflation in relation to my pay. My father could work one job and support a wife and five children. Try that today.

[mr.sombra]

How's going to help Europe more than their own citizens and who is going to benefit from the candidates the US or other nations? That's the right question...

Protectionism protects industry but does not protect consumers.
Higher tariffs = higher price of cheap goods = less SKU choices on market with less competition = more American only goods that are overly priced = bad for consumer despite giving a temporary jobs for the factories

Maybe the US can help the syringe maker by supplying money for the moving cost to get out of China?

[JHayler]

Putting a 10% tariff on all imported products will make inflation worse and the inflation we are seeing would have also occured under Trump

Nobody knows who would be better for the economy because Kamala is yet to have a run as president. What a politician says they're going to do and what they actually do are two completely different things.

[shunaras]

It would be interesting to understand why none of the evonomic growth in the US reaches us in Europe

[Biga]

I don't think the voters care about the world economy. They care about the US Economy and specifically how the economy and economic policies effect their quality of life.

[fizzled]

Both candidates are closely aligned on economic policies. Whether its anti-trust law, tariffs, or deregulation in some areas or regulating other areas, both are just central planners. Both suck!

Regardless of election results nuclear energy and investing into fusion/geothermal research along with ocean desalination for ground water depletion is very important.

Nuclear energy plants would revitalize many jobs and help the economy overall providing stable middle class income.

Kamala will give Xi and Pyutin some extra spicy word salad

[XLBlazer]

Trump is a nutcase, world economy musings are as pointless as this video.
