Great conversation with Washington Examiner for their article, "How the Trump administration is working to convince the public that the economy is improving."
Jill Homan, economy and trade deputy director at the America First Policy Institute, praised the Trump administration’s creativity in encouraging families to invest in the stock market through the Trump Accounts.
“This will enable more Americans to participate in the ownership of America,” Homan said.
Homan also pointed to the trade deals that the administration is brokering, including the renegotiation of the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement, as another example of creating job opportunities for families in the U.S. who are further included in the American dream.
“These companies are expanding because of these trade deals,” Homan said. “And they’re incentivized to invest in their business because of these great upfront expensing, and so now they need more workers, and so now they’re hiring moms and dads to work in these facilities. So you have the moms making the chip, with the Trump Account, you have the kids owning the chip company. … They’re all benefiting through these policies, and by having ownership in the American dream.”
Control of Congress will focus on whether the Trump administration can convince the public it is equipped to handle the affordability crisis.
