Question about project 2025

How will it effect the economy

Answer

"Project 2025" could damage the U.S. economy. For example, it proposes to remove federal worker protections and oversight from critical institutions such as the Bureau of Labor Statistics, making it difficult to ensure an accurate representation of economic performance and to determine when things such as inflation or job losses are actually happening. Other examples of harmful actions to the economy, outlined by the platform include: * The platform wants to eliminate funding for local job-creation programs such as the Economic Development Administration, and plans to dismantle programs that have already resulted in the creation of over 220,000 jobs. * The document aims to make it much harder for Americans to receive food assistance. The creators propose reevaluating crucial programs such as SNAP which provides food aid to 21.6 million households and dismantling programs such as the Thrifty Food Plan, which has historically provided families with more nutritious foods. * There are proposed changes to make working conditions more dangerous in order to undercut wage increases, particularly for disabled people and working class people of color. "Project 2025" may undermine the economy in significant ways.
