Trump Administration Policies Lower Inflation and Boost Economic Growth
Impact Score: 2.2
Timeline: N/A
Summary: President Trump’s policies have reduced inflation to an average of 2.7%, reversing Biden-era spikes, and lowered household costs for food, energy, and prescriptions. Significant gains include rising real wages, record job growth, lower mortgage rates, tax reforms, deregulatory savings, and enhanced economic and fiscal health. Federal agencies such as the Treasury, DOE, EPA, and NHTSA are impacted by these measures, which also present challenges and opportunities for institutions like Vanderbilt University in finance, research, sustainability, and policy programs.
Key Actions: Vanderbilt should research economic impacts on higher education, adjust financial aid based on tax cuts, evaluate housing market effects on real estate, explore employment partnerships aligned with job market growth, and assess deregulation impacts on sustainability initiatives.
