Mark Franke: The Trump effect
I will come clean up front: I am not a Donald Trump supporter. I will also come clean by publicly stating I voted for him in the 2016 and 2020 general elections but in neither primary. What choice did I have when considering the alternatives? The current state of affairs with Joe Biden and his administration validates my choice. And no defense is required for refusing to vote for Hillary Clinton.

Michael Hicks: Thoughts about Trump’s tax plan
This week, the former President Donald Trump’s campaign sketched out a tax plan for what they hope to be a second administration.

So, it is hard to take seriously any of Trump’s policy. Still, it is always a good time to cogitate through the potential economic effects of tax proposals.
