Hillary Clinton comes up $2.2 trillion short in paying for her policy agenda, despite hiking taxes by $1.3 trillion, according to a new analysis of the Democratic nominee’s campaign platform.
Gray found Clinton’s policies for expanding government’s role in family leave and student loans would contribute significantly to the deficit, and in turn a growing national debt that stands at $19.358 trillion.
In fact, the amount of debt held by the public alone would reach $25.825 trillion in 2026 under Clinton’s plan. The amount of debt held by the public today is $13.968 trillion.

And she will increase spending by at least that much.
Time for Trump to get up with some charts and graphs. He needs to ask (particularly to women) whether they wish to see their children and grandchildren saddled with this debt for generations. Or do a little demonstration using someone from the audience and some dollar bills and coins.
She’ll have to do it to. Their base is about at the point of “put up or shut up” on forgiving student loans and paid family leave.
For starters.
The economic windfall from the shale oil boom should have propelled the economy into an era of expansion and prosperity, but that didn’t happen. All because of 0bamacare; the money that should have been available for personal income and consumption was instead diverted into massively increased health care costs.
Now let’s see what we’re gonna get if that monster Clinton gets in the White House. Massively increased taxes on the middle class coupled with a regulatory end to hydraulic fracturing. She was paid by the Saudis to end the fracking, and she was paid by the banskters to not touch them when looking for money for her social schemes.
So the middle class will get socked with less income at the same time that the engine of the economy is choked. That’s not going to end well.

Four times the amount shown in thread title is over three trillion dollars. And this is a major constitutional problem, imo, as indicated by the following material.
Note that a previous generation of state sovereignty-respecting justices had clarified that Congress is prohibited from appropriating taxes in the name of state power issues, essentially any issue that Congress cannot justify under its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers. This is evidenced by the following excerpt.
”Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” - Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
Based on the Court’s statement above, here is a rough approximation of how much taxpayers should be paying Congress annually to perform its Section 8-limited power duties.
Given that the plurality of clauses in Section 8 deal with defense, and given that the Department of Defense budget for 2015 was $500+ billion, I will generously round up the $500+ billion figure to $1 trillion (but probably much less) as the annual price tag of the federal government to the taxpayers, not the $5 trillion annual budget now being projected for the feds.
In other words, the corrupt media, including Obama guard dog Fx Noise, should not be reporting multi-trillion dollar annual federal budgets in budget discussions without mentioning the Supreme Court’s clarification of Congress’s limited power to appropriate taxes.
Trump supporters need to get him up to speed on the idea that a good percentage of the federal taxes that he and his rich friends have been paying throughout their lives are probably unconstitutional.
Remember in November !
Patriots need to suppoort the Trump / Pence ticket by also electing a new, state sovereignty-respecting Congress that will not only work within its Section 8-limited powers to support Trump’s vision for making America great again for everybody, but will also put a stop to unconstitutional federal taxes and likewise unconstitutional interference in state affairs.
Also, consider that such a Congress would probably be willing to fire state sovereignty-ignoring activist justices.
If Hillary wins the election she and Bill will go into the White House as millionaires and exit as billionaires.
I just love the idea of paying more, while having no voice and being ridiculed, so that she can buy a political career and feed her narcissistic ego.
They will figure out a way not to pay the debt back. He should talk about the interest on the debt which will swamp the Federal Budget.
there are passive ways the sheep can refuse to be fleeced
Wow just wow
Democrats don’t have to declare bankruptcy. They just print more money
And she will be raising taxes on the middle class..so hey everyone that hates Trump that is going to vote for Hillary out of spite, enjoy your tax increase..the middle class will turn into the lower class and they will be the ones collecting welfare benefits and food stamps
Hundreds of billions more for taxes and to expand governments role?
Either these Clinton supporters have some serious mental issues or they’re simply in on the big gov globalist charade.
And she is still ahead on the polls. My fellow Americans = Dumbos.
That’s quite a ‘stimulus’, Hillary.
And reparations.....share da welt.
Yes Hillary yes Hillary! Keep screeching how you are going to raise taxes! Excellent! That will help your campaign!
If revenue were all they wanted, they could just forgo taxes and print the money. What they seek, I think, is another tool for punishment and reward, for power and control.
