Vice President Kamala Harris wants to renovate the American economy. Former President Donald Trump’s economic vision amounts to knocking it down and rebuilding it from the ground up. The Harris economic agenda calls for modest improvements designed to make life more affordable. Bigger tax credits for parents. Boosting the minimum wage. Building more homes. And more small business loans. There’s nothing subtle about the Trump agenda. He’s calling for dramatic changes that could upend daily life. Mass deportations. Unthinkably high tariffs. And enough tax giveaways to give Oprah a run for her money. The campaigns are fiercely divided over which approach is best for this moment.

They have a real contrast: Measured changes to the economy or drastic ones. “Trump is proposing radical change – with an emphasis on radical,” Joe Brusuelas, chief economist at RSM, told CNN in a phone interview. “When you’re talking about forced deportations and 1930s-style tariffs, you’re talking about significant disruptions.” Yet it’s far from clear that the US economy requires the complete overhaul Trump wants.
