Long term negative effects of Trump's economic plan for the U.S. in contrast to positive long term effects of the Clinton plan
10/18/2016
With huge borrowing and estimated at $5.3 trillion deficit Trump's economic plan has negative long term effects. It is also vague and absent many necessary details. The Clinton economic plan has positive long term effects, is careful with the deficit, and spells out the specifics. Clinton's economic plan helps to reduce wide wealth disparities pointed out by Fed chairman Janet Yellen, and increases societal integration of less advantaged groups. While the Trump Plan aggravates social tensions by increasing the share of the national income going to the wealthy at a time when unprecedented wealth disparities exist in American society.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
