As the 2020 presidential election nears, different organizations are analyzing the proposed initiatives of each candidate. One of those groups looking at the economic plans of both President Donald Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden is Pennsylvania's Wharton School of Business, the President's business school alma mater.

Wharton concluded Biden's economic proposals would create a faster growing economy, higher wages for workers and reduce the national debt when compared to under President Donald Trump. The prestigious business school also found that Biden's proposed environmental and social programs often criticized by the GOP would largely pay for themselves.


Richard Prisinzano, director of policy analysis at the nonpartison Penn Wharton Budget Model, said:

"If you got the U.S. on this path, you would lower the debt and raise GDP."
"It is productive spending that Mr. Biden is proposing."


While their analysis is sound, many people are focusing more on the fact Trump graduated from Wharton.

That fact has long been a bragging point for Trump.










As of Tuesday, September 15, the 2020 presidential election is 48 days away.

Recent polls find Biden leading Trump. Whether Wharton's analysis hurts Trump's numbers further remains to be seen.

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
