WSJ Original article ›
LyrArc Article Gist
A survey of 414 National Association of Business Economics (NABE) economists shows Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson with 15%, overtaking Trump at 14% on who would best manage the economy. On protectionist views only 9% support this. 15% said they have no opinion and 55% said Hillary Clinton would do the best job of managing the economy. About 62% say the election uncertainty is holding back growth. Some aspects of Hillary Clinton's economic plan are the $275 billion infrastructure investment over 10 years, taking action against companies that ship jobs overseas, a capital gains tax paln that encourages long term investments, supporting $15 minimum wage, making upward mobility a top priority, providing government financed access to public colleges for working class and lower income groups. Donald Trump's plan has suffered form lack of specifics, shifting comments, lack of careful study, and excessive use of slogans. Both candidates oppose trade agreements that shift jobs overseas. Trump's plan also suffers from lack of credibility overseas as this is important in a global business structure, with fears of protectionism increasing. and reminding people of the protectionism under Smoot-Hawley that increased the damage from the depression of the thirties.

The Trans Pacific Trade Agreement and trade issues dominating midwestern primaries in Michigan, Ohio and Illinois- loss of manufacturing jobs and Hillary Clinton's response

03/09/2016

Hillary Clinton puts more focus on loss of manufacturing jobs and opposition to trade agreements that hurts American workers following her narrow loss to Sanders in the Michigan primary of March 2016. Three fifths of Democratic voters in the Michigan primary saw this as a major issue, especially younger less educated workers who see their job prospects diminish and wages drop. Hillary Clinton has opposed the Trans Pacific Trade Agreement, yet supported this trade policy as part of the Obama administration. She was attacked on this same issue of trade during the primaries against Obama in 2008, at that time for support of Bill Clinton's NAFTA agreement with Mexico.
