How can you say Hillary plans will be paid through tax increases?

How many Western governments have increased taxes on the rich and met the revenue projections?

I am not against raising taxes for the rich but I find that talking point 'pants on fire lie'

Yes Hillary plans wont be disastrous as Trump but to suggest a massive amount of increased government spending wont increase the debt by a penny is a absurd claim.

The debt level in the later years of Obama years has not increased because there has not been no large government spending plans at all lately and add in entitlement spending increases things will not be easy. 

I did provide a link which you are free to peruse. Her tax increases are projected to generate 1.55trillion which is roughly how much all of her other programs will cost (Figure 4 is a good breakdown).

And again, its worth noting that it technically will increase the national debt, just not above current projections.
