    Trump Is on a Collision Course With the US Budget

    Joseph E. Stiglitz

    No matter how committed Donald Trump and his oligarch cronies are to a tax cut, the laws of arithmetic cannot be repealed.

     points out that no amount of bluster or strong-arming can overcome the laws of arithmetic.

    The Economic Consequences of Trump 2.0

    Simon Johnson

    The US president-elect's signature policies will do almost nothing positive for less educated Americans or significantly improve the lives of most others. The rich will get richer, the richest will get a lot richer, and everyone else will contend with higher inflation, cuts to public services, and the effects of runaway deregulation.

     explains why reality is unlikely to come close to matching the US president-elect's rhetoric.
