Trump’s plan would mean ‘a huge increase in the budget deficit primarily to give tax cuts to the richest people in the country,’ says economist Dean Baker. ‘I don’t think most people would think that sounds like a very good idea’.

Dean Baker is co-director of the Center for Economic and Policy Research in Washington, D.C. He is the author of several books, his latest being “Rigged: How Globalization and the Rules of the Modern Economy Were Structured to Make the Rich Richer”.
