The Spin

Multiple analyses have reached the same opinion that Harris's policy proposals will do a better job atof handling America's debt than Donald Trump's. WhilstWhile there's a chance that a Harris administration would prevent national debt from growing whatsoeverat all, Trump risks running up a $15T bill if his pro-tariff anti-tax agenda doesn't go to plan.

Harris's policiespolicy pledges are nothing but vacuous capitalist buzzwords intended to hide her debt-inducing Marxist agenda. DemocratDemocratic plans to raid the wallets of thehard-working wealthyAmericans will barely put a dent in the national deficit, whilstwhile calls for taxing unrealized capital gains and everyday price controls are economically insaneunviable. Harris cannot be trusted to controlmanage the American economy.

Policy deficit estimates are extremely inaccurate, lacking any credible certainty over the future. These predictions should not be treated seriously, with the CRFBCommittee's massive range of potential estimates laughablyunwieldy broad and practically useless.
