MAGA Momentum: Trump’s 100-Day Plan Unveiled, Inside His ‘Dream Team’
Welcome to today's newsletter, filled with inspiring stories that showcase President Trump's strategic moves, grassroots support, and the nation's growing optimism.
Presidential candidates Donald Trump and J.D. Vance's economic policies are being criticized by failed economists, but supported by working-class Americans. Vance proposes expanding the Child Tax Credit to $5,000 per child, while Trump challenges the Federal Reserve's independence.
Recently, both Donald Trump and his running mate J.D. Vance have thrown out a political challenge to the independence of the Federal Reserve, as Michael Steger covers in this Promethean Action post.
Now, a bevy of economists, whose Fed-supporting policies have contributed to the decades-long destruction of the U.S. economy are getting nervous. Larry Summers, who served as Bill Clinton’s National Economic Advisor and Barack Obama’s Treasury Secretary, intoned that he is “appalled at how bad an idea it was.” The New York Times carried an op-ed by Paul Krugman defending the sanctity of the Fed’s independence. Krugman is a Nobel Prize winner, whose interest in economics, according to Wikipedia, began by reading science fiction—which may explain a lot. Kamala Harris has said: “The Fed is an independent entity and as President I would never interfere in the decisions that the Fed makes."
According to the Fortune coverage, Richard Nixon was another President who challenged the Fed's imperial authority. This week marks the 50th anniversary of Nixon's resignation as the 37th President of the United States.
