The billionaire Citadel founder Ken Griffin is one of the biggest donors to the Republican Party but has some worries about the effect of policies the Trump administration has promised. Speaking on Thursday at the Economic Club of New York, Griffin said that while immigration and inflation were clearly the two biggest problems for voters this election, severe policy responses could hurt the country and the economy.
Main Idea: Ken Griffin urged Donald Trump to keep immigration open to skilled workers, avoid tax cuts, and consider Apollo CEO Marc Rowan for Treasury secretary.
Key Points:
Tighter immigration rules or tax cuts for the rich could raise prices, shrink labor supply, and leave households and small businesses with higher costs.
Keeping room for workers and skilled immigrants could help jobs, business growth, and service levels in many communities.
