1. Jobs: Clinton boosts job growth, Trump policy plagues it
Analysts are calling Clinton the winner on job creation.
Under a Clinton presidency, the economy would add 4.7 million new jobs by 2020, according to an analysis by Oxford Economics. Other estimates are higher. Moody's forecasts that Clinton would add 10.4 million jobs.
The difference in the two forecasts stems from the assumptions about the impact of Clinton's immigration proposal to provide a pathway to citizenship. It is expected to boost employment and growth -- but experts differ over the extent and the time period of the benefits.
Under Trump's policies, Oxford says America would add a mere 700,000 jobs by 2020, while Moody's expects a net loss of 500,000 jobs by the end of his first term. The forecasts for Trump assume his immigration and trade policies would be major headwinds for job growth.
Trump says he will add 25 million jobs over a decade -- a claim that independent analysis hasn't been able to corroborate.
2. Taxes: Clinton (pay now) or Trump (pay later)
It depends what you want -- pain now followed by gain later, or more money now followed by tough times down the road.
Trump's tax plan would have a positive impact...until 2024. UPenn and the Tax Policy Center found that Trump's tax-cutting policies could boost growth in the short term. But lower tax revenue would lead to higher federal debt, which would hurt future generations even more than current projections.
The same analysis of Clinton's plan came up with the opposite result: a headwind in the short term from higher taxes. But then there is the potential of positive effect in the long-term, when the tax revenue could be used to build new roads, bridges and highways.
