Both Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton delivered major economic speeches within the last several weeks. Trump spoke in Detroit and Clinton in Warren, Michigan, just outside of the Motor City.
Reading through the two candidates’ speeches, it’s immediately apparent that, as befits a political campaign, both candidates make it sound like their opposing candidate’s economic vision is, or would be, the worst thing to hit the nation since the Great Depression. …
This rhetoric certainly makes it sound like there would be zero areas of commonality between the two candidates on economic issues. This is, in fact, not the case. The two candidates actually share some ideas in common, and also in common with the average American. CONT.
