So...continue the trend we've been on for many years now? Show me a President that has actually reduced the national debt.
Donald Trump Would Push Debt To Highest Level In U.S. History, Report Says
Donald Trump Would Push Debt To Highest Level In U.S. History, Report Says Donald Trump Would Push Debt to Highest Level In U.S. History, Report Says
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............................
Some estimates are as high as $20 trillion dollars of debt..........Did you know that is what you are voting for?
I'm not so sure how non partisan that report is, considering Barack Obama has increased the debt more than double that of Bush(closer to triple), and she is calling for the same policies with even more spending! How exactly does that compute to a balanced budget?
They are comparing Trump to Hillary.
Hmm...for the past 7 1/2 years all we've heard from liberals is that the debt doesn't actually matter and that its actually a good thing to have debt. Now we have a thread, posted by and agreed to by liberals, complaining about just how much Trump is predicted to raise the debt vs Hillary and Hillary's numbers are considered "good" and Trump's numbers are considered "bad".
Not that this actually surprises me. The same happened in reverse during the Bush years. :shrug: But it IS funny to see the hypocrisy.

Three things. 1) Neither this thread, nor the article in HUffPo were of republican origin. 2) Republicans are not defending his spending 3)Trump is a New York liberal.And for the last 7 years we've heard from Republican fiscal conservatives how bad the debt is and how they want smaller government and less spending.
But with Bush(as you pointed out), and now Trump spending less and the debt doesn't matter?
The hypocrisy easily goes both ways.

The CRFB is in fact 'bipartisan' and has corporate connections.
Like you who are a Leftist in disguise.

*shrug*....continuation of trends and all that. That aside, predictions are speculation.

Well if being a leftist is being for truth, honesty and fair play..........
I stand convicted....
HuffPo linked to the complete report with all the back ups and citations one would need. Enjoy.So Huffpo publishes a "study" from some supposedly non partisan source, showing colored lines with absolutely no backup or citations, then finishes the story with:
Editor’s note: Donald Trump regularly incites political violence and is a serial liar, rampant xenophobe, racist, misogynist and birther who has repeatedly pledged to ban all Muslims — 1.6 billion members of an entire religion — from entering the U.S.
Sorry, you need more than that if it's presented as anything more than an unfounded hit piece.

Then be honest with your lean. Stop masquerading as a conservative.
That is unresponsive to the subject
