Donald Trump Would Push Debt To Highest Level In U.S. History, Report Says
Making America great again — by running up huge IOUs.

Jonathan Cohn Senior National Correspondent, The Huffington Post

Donald Trump’s policy agenda would quickly push the national debt to its highest level in history, according to a new report.

The analysis, which the nonpartisan Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget published Sunday evening, represents one of the first serious efforts to assess how electing Trump or his chief rival for the presidency, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, might affect federal finances over time.

Rather than focusing on individual policy initiatives — like Trump’s call to abolish the estate tax, or Clinton’s pledge to help working parents pay for child care — this new analysis takes into account all of the candidates’ proposals to date, in order to assess how they would alter the federal budget and, ultimately, the amount of debt that the public holds.

........................ ........

The resulting contrast was stark. As the report demonstrates, the election doesn’t simply present Americans with a choice between a politician who disparages entire ethnic and religious groups and a politician who preaches the virtues of diversity. It also offers a choice between a candidate who’d create vast new deficits for the sake of some highly questionable tax cuts — and one proposing a more modest agenda of expanded government programs, with added revenue that would cover nearly all of their cost.................... ........

he doesn't like the facts.  so he wants to make this a pissing contest with insults.

equating this to obama?  Does he mean how Trump has used 12 of the 13 alisnky tactics?  He's right about that, but I don't know if that is what tony was getting at.

Remember the Obama promise to eliminate the deficit?

Trump is doing nothing more than making big promises that he will never deliver on...just like Obama

The deficit and national debt are two vastly different things.  Do you know that?   

Fixing tens of trillions in debt is way greater than running an annual surplus.   Trump said we'll have another recession, AND he will eliminate 20 trillion in debt completely, in 8 years.  This is beyond delusional thinking.

Obama already doubled the debt himself.

Oh. Yes. Absolutely.

correct.  but so did bush, so did clinton, and so will prez #45, whether it's hilary or Trump.   

Trump said he would ERASE 20 trillion in debt.  That's beyond massive, that's groundbreaking.   Either it's an obvious lie, or...

Yes Cracker Jack you, I do that's why I used the correct word

So your issue is that trump is make a bigger non achievable promise? Got it, where do you draw the line on grandeur of non achievable promises?

[headhuntersix]

What was Obama's exact promise?

Obama only dropped the deficit by 1 trillion.

Did you want me to change the subject line to "Thread about Obama's underperforming on deficit" since "Trump budget" is something you'd rather not discuss.

tonyyyyyyyyyyyy - please tell me you weren't absorbed by Team Trump.  You used to dislike him.  Have you changed your mind now?

The majority if not all of the deficit reduction was the result of the sequester that Obama opposed.

Again at what point is an absurd promise to absurd to you 240?

Trump said he'll completely erase the debt in 8 years.

You pointing out the *cause* of the debt has nothing to do with Trump.  He knows it'll be 22 or 23 tril when he takes over. 

Nobody asked "Tony, why is this debt here".   We all know why it's here.  Point is, Trump says he'll erase it in 8 years.


Do you believe Trump's claim?

Holy shit Cracker Jack U did an even worse job educating you than I thought.

My very first post in this thread was comparing trumps lies to Obamas lies and you still think I believe him?

LMFAO shit almighty boy, you're a special kind of stupid

My very first post in this thread was comparing trumps lies to Obamas lies and you still think I believe him?

why would you do that?

Thread title isn't "let's compare lies of trump and obama".

You intro'd a moral equivalency to take pressure off Trump here, didn't you?
