Report: Hillary Clinton Would Hike Taxes By $1.3 Trillion
Policy proposals run $2.2 trillion deficit

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.
The American Action Forum, a center-right policy institute, released a report Thursday finding Clinton’s domestic agenda would “have a dramatic effect on the federal budget.â€
Gordon Gray, American Action Forum’s director of fiscal policy, based the report on estimates of policy proposals from the Clinton campaign itself, as well as independent analyses from the Tax Policy Center and the Center for a Responsible Federal Budget.
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.
The thing is, Paul Ryan will, more than likely (if the past is any indication) willingly go along with this crap.

Paul Ryan has drunk the Boehner Kool-Aid and is squarely a GOP elitist.

I think 1.3 Trillion is a wildly optimistic underestimate.

Agreed. Then again, any "estimates" involving government spending are usually below what actually occurs -- it's almost as if the bean counters figure nobody's paying any attention from the get-go.

Is "at least by half" a fair rule of thumb?

Hilary and Huma in bed would look like a manatee mating with an otter.
