Trump is trying to distance himself from the 'comedian' Hinchcliffe, who called Puerto Rico an 'island of garbage...' yet 4 of the MAGA team reviewed his speech. Who's in charge? Nobody? But so many believe a guy who heard on TV that Haitians were eating pets, is qualified to be president.......

But Trump is running an ad that says HE did it:

Though the Trump administration established a voluntary, temporary program lowering insulin costs for some older Americans on Medicare, the mandatory price caps implemented through Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act go significantly further.

Planet Money
Ten Econ Takeaways From Trump and Harris
by Darian Woods
For this edition of the Planet Money newsletter, we’re turning it over to Indicator co-host Darian Woods, who recently reported on the economic platforms of the two main presidential candidates.

In a recent two-part series on The Indicator, I reported on the economic platforms of presidential candidates Donald Trump and Kamala Harris. I learned a lot, and we thought it might be informative to distill what I learned into a top ten list. Here you go:

1) Trump is tapping into a vein of deep anger about the U.S. economy, which is voters' number one issue.

2) Trump's proposed tariffs would be very costly. The Peterson Institute for International Economics estimates they'd add at least $2,600 in annual expenses for the typical US household. The study's authors reckon this is, if anything, an underestimate.

3) There's scant evidence American-born workers would be better off financially if Trump delivers his promise for mass deportations. The National Academy of Sciences brought in immigration researchers to review the literature. They concluded immigration overall has a positive impact on long-run economic growth in the U.S.

4) Reforming the regulatory system is a priority for the left and right alike. Trump talks about cutting red tape more.

5) Increasing the child tax credit is also a bipartisan cause. Harris made raising the CTC to $6,000 for the first year of newborns the centerpiece of her economic agenda.

6) Harris' plan to raise corporate taxes to 28% would likely reduce companies' capital investments, but its effects on economic growth are surprisingly unclear.

7) Taxing unrealised capital gains for people with over $100 million in wealth is uncharted territory. Very few countries do this.

8) On housing, Harris is proposing both demand- and supply-based policies to help families own their own home. But actually building houses will be the harder one. The $25,000 first-home credit, without increased building, would just be eaten up by higher home prices.

9) Most economists hate Harris' anti-price-gouging policy. Anti-price-gouging laws are already in place in many states, and have been used in fairly limited situations like the pandemic.

10) Neither candidate offers serious plans for reducing the federal debt. According to four think tanks, over 10 years, Trump's plans would increase the deficit by $3.6 billion to $6.6 trillion, while Harris' plan would increase the federal deficit less, but still at a sizable $400 billion to $1.4 trillion.
