These elections can bring massive changes for US legislation, regulations and economy. It will be an extremely close presidential race, but the gap between policies is gigantic. For Congress, gridlock is likely, but don’t be fooled by the name as there will be plenty of action. Did the felony conviction make an impact or will any of the many Trump lawsuits? Will inflation and high prices make voters want a change from Biden? How will a split Congress impact regulation? Inflation? Fiscal spending? Trade? Supreme Court? Federal Reserve Policy? What will be the Biden or Trump legislative strategy? Most importantly, how will the elections impact your business? As an economic futurist, Andrew Busch has been in the US government when a power shift occurred and provides his insights into answering all these questions. Most importantly, he gives you an outlook for the growth opportunities coming from these changes for your industry and members. ...less
