NIDS Senior Fellow, Steven Blank argues that both presidential campaigns are evading real economic issues and proposing policies that demonstrate a lack of understanding of economic realities. He criticizes Kamala Harris for advocating price controls without explaining funding, and Donald Trump for tariffs and immigration policies that harm key industries. Blank warns that this economic illiteracy threatens not only the U.S. economy but global stability, especially as international challenges mount. He calls for greater scrutiny of both candidates’ economic plans to address these urgent issues.
