Now that the election is over, the updated economic figures are looking very bad. Surprisingly, the government misled the public about the economy. Instead of job growth, the economy was actually losing jobs. Inflation has also risen much faster than anticipated, contradicting claims that it was under control.
While Joe Biden did acknowledge that the U. S. economy was performing better than some other countries, it wasn't due to strong American policies but rather to other nations' failed strategies. The economy is in worse shape than it seems, with the Philly Fed identifying over 650,000 questionable jobs. Meanwhile, left-leaning media outlets are expected to blame former President Trump for the economic issues.
Despite these problems, there is still reason to feel hopeful about the transition in Washington. Though interest rates and national debt are high, and Trump is entering a tumultuous global landscape, many believe that America will rebound. The influx of foreign investment into the U. S. may drive productivity and growth, with predictions suggesting that the country will outshine other major economies in the upcoming year.
Trump's return may lead to a significant shift in economic policies that prioritize private sector innovation rather than government-driven initiatives that have stifled growth. Experts warn that while some issues will take time to resolve, the potential economic initiatives under Trump could foster a boom in investment, ultimately benefiting the economy.
For years, economic policy has focused on government interventions and regulations, which diverted resources away from productivity. Those corporations that aligned with government mandates benefited, but overall economic growth slowed. There are hopes that the reduction of regulations and increased optimism under Trump could attract investment and stimulate the economy.
In summary, while inflation may linger longer than hoped, shifts in policy and governmental size could pave the way for recovery. This optimism is being referred to as the “Trump effect. ”
