"SNIP............

So, which presidential nominee has the better economic agenda to get Americans back on track? According to nearly 40 economists from America's top schools surveyed by the Financial Times and the University of Chicago Booth School of Business' Kent A. Clark Center for Global Markets, it's Harris instead of former President Donald Trump, the GOP presidential nominee.

When asked which nominees' economic policies would be more inflationary—in other words, which would be more likely to cause inflation—70 percent of the economists said Trump's while only 3 percent said Harris'. Meanwhile, 27 percent said there is no material difference in each economic platform's inflationary consequences.

I want to receive special offers
A total of 70 percent also thought Trump's economic platform would produce larger federal budget deficits, while only 11 percent said Harris' platform would and 19 percent said there would be no material difference.

Budget deficits are when government expenses exceed revenue. They also add to the national debt, which is not good for the economy.

In a telling note, their guest, when asked about this, started talking about Hunter Biden's laptop. He went on to say economists are Democratic partisans and the mainstream media caters to the Democrats.

CNBC, a Roger Ailes creation, is as bad as FOX.
