How Donald Trump Would Increase the Deficit
Trump's economic plans would dramatically increase the national debt, a new analysis finds, as Trump continues to reshape old political battle lines over fiscal policy. Clinton's plan would essentially maintain the current-law baseline, while Trump's massive tax cuts and increases in spending would greatly expand the deficit. The findings mark something of a role-reversal for the two parties, as GOP voters who have been hawkish about deficits for years seem to be ignoring the impact of Trump's policies, while Democrats, who haven't shied away from deficit spending, are touting the fiscal responsibility of Clinton's plan. Obama is dogged by Trump. Bill Clinton defends his foundation. And Trump reveals he dropped the "birther" issue for political expediency.
