Forbes: How Would Donald Trump And Kamala Harris Change Your Taxes? Here’s What To Know.
Former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris have recently proposed new tax plans as they campaign for the upcoming election. Trump's proposals include eliminating double taxation for Americans abroad and making car loan interest tax-deductible, while Harris aims to expand tax credits for lower-income families and increase taxes on the wealthy.
Both candidates face criticism regarding the potential impact of their plans on the federal deficit, with estimates suggesting Trump's proposals could add approximately $7.5 trillion, while Harris's could add around $3.5 trillion. Critics argue that neither plan adequately addresses the need for broad-based tax increases to manage national debt.

The Economist: The shale revolution helped make America’s economy great

The Economist: China’s yuan is nowhere close to displacing the greenback
Despite predictions of its decline following the Bretton Woods collapse in 1973, the U.S. dollar has maintained its dominance in the global economy. Factors such as the accumulation of reserves and foreign investments in the U.S. have bolstered its status.
The yuan is unlikely to replace the dollar, as any significant change would require actions detrimental to the dollar's standing by the U.S. itself.
