IamA Sr. Economic Analyst. Here's how Trump will affect the economy & your finances. AMA!

Posted: 21 Nov 2016 09:52 AM PST

My short bio: Hi Reddit, I'm Mark Hamrick, Senior Economic Analyst and Washington Bureau Chief for Bankrate.com. In April, I did an AMA on how Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump could each affect the economy as President. Now that we know that Donald Trump is our President-Elect, I'm back to answer more questions.

We've heard some ideas from Donald Trump about how he intends to handle this country's finances, including a variety of proposals or ideas affecting wages, trade, immigration and taxes. Our new Republican majority congress will also have a say on the policies guiding the economy, which could affect all of our finances. Some background info on me: I report extensively on the economy and jobs market, talk on radio and television, and have been quoted by many top media outlets such as The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal and CNBC. Along with what I write about for Bankrate.com, I have a column for The New York Daily News.

How are you feeling about your current financial situation? Do you think Donald Trump has the ability to help rebuild the economy? I'd like to hear your thoughts and field your questions regarding the economy and how the president elect might affect the economy and your finances. Ask Me Anything!
