Good morning, Broadsheet readers! Hillary Clinton rips into Donald Trump’s economic plan, more than half of female ad execs say they’ve been harassed at work, and Simone Biles is my hero. Have a wonderful weekend.
EVERYONE'S TALKING
•Clinton on the money? Hillary Clinton delivered a major economic policy speech yesterday, ripping into Donald Trump's proposals and contrasting them with her own. Fortune's Ben Geier and Chris Matthews fact-checked some of Clinton's key assertions, with mixed results. Meanwhile, Shawn Tully called both candidates "delusional" about America's finances, since neither made any serious commitment to reducing deficits.
It was particularly interesting to hear Clinton's take on Trump's recently announced childcare plan, which he says would allow Americans to "fully deduct the average cost of child care spending." The Democratic nominee pooh-poohed this idea, saying it would only benefit the rich. Clinton's plan, which she has laid out before, would cap the cost of childcare at 10% of a family's income. Hungry for more details? I recommend this Washington Post story, which takes a deep dive into how the two candidates' plans compare.
