She has a plan, it's right there on her website, pretty standard stuff that should not scare people too much. Whatever Trump plans to do changes day-to-day. Mostly it's a bunch of stuff that is either impossible, unworkable or terror inducing to the markets. It is certain that, at least in the short term, Trump's plans would be terribly counter-productive until the markets figured out how to operate with such an erratic president.Jobs are still leaving and Trump has proposed clear plans to stop them from leaving and to bring some of the jobs back. Clinton has no plans to try to prevent more jobs from leaving, in fact, Clinton has no economic plan at all.To a national politician "protecting business" means doing what Big business wants and Big business wants nothing to do with anything remotely resembling protectionism. Trump claiming to want protectionism is nothing more than an empty promise, like wanting to close the barn door thirty years after the horses got out. The time for protectionist measures was long ago when all the republicans and half the democrats were hailing Friedman as the messiah of capitalism and quoting his theories as the gospel.
