Trump's Proposals Could Balloon National Debt
According to a new report, Trump’s economic agenda could spike the national debt by an estimated $7.5 trillion, overshadowing Harris’s $3.5 trillion increase. Both candidates offer expansive plans without full transparency on funding sources.
Fiscal Implications of Candidate Proposals
- Trump’s tax cuts, military spending, and tariffs are projected to cost trillions.
- Harris aims to support low-income Americans but is also associated with a substantial debt increase.
- Analysts warn of ongoing fiscal instability due to both candidates’ lack of debt reduction strategies.
