| Mr Puggsly said: Is that better or worse then our current situation? Nobody expects Hilary to balance the budget. Lets be honest, dems get a lot of support from people wanting more free stuff from the government. |
When we talk about the debt forecasts for the candidates, we are talking about how much they deviate from current projections. So essentially we would have $5tril more debt in 10 years under Trump than if we did nothing (which totals about $8 tril).
As for Clinton, current debt forecasts have her close to breaking even (cost of $0.2 tril in 10 years) with current projections (which totals about $3tril).
I made a more in depth post I think last page about this topic.
