... Mark Zandi says that “Hands down, VP Harris is being much more fiscally disciplined than President Trump” and that whatever the policies, a Harris administration plans “to be fiscally disciplined. And that is a bit of a flip. Historically, being fiscally disciplined and focused on budget deficits has been a Republican rally cry.”

Harris is proposing to spend about $2 trillion and raise $5 trillion in tax revenues over a decade. Trump is calling for about $5 trillion in tax breaks and spending while raising less than $3 trillion in revenue through tariffs.

In short, Harris should have about $3 trillion in deficit reduction over the 10-year budget horizon and, as Zandi says, “I can’t recall a deficit reduction package that comes even close to that.”

Now, who to listen to on the economy, Moody’s Analytics Chief Economist or some guys on this message board?

Tough call.
