Trump Slammed By His Alma Mater Over His Insanely Bad Economic Plan

One of Donald Trump's favorite bragging points  of all time is the fact that he went to business   school at Wharton. You know, even though the guy  won't of course release his college transcripts,   you know, because obviously they don't show that  he was the top student there. He still loves to   talk about Wharton. He holds the university  in high regard, and that's why it must be   exceptionally devastating for Donald Trump to get  news out of Wharton this week that his economic   plan is an absolute disaster waiting to happen.  You see, the good folks at Wharton decided to   take an analysis to do an analysis, I should say,  of both Kamala Harris's economic plans and Donald   Trump's economic plans. And while they found that  over the next decade Kamala Harris's plan could   end up adding a trillion dollars to the national  debt, they determined that Donald Trump's economic   plan would be almost six times worse, adding  close to $6 trillion to the national debt. Let me read you this. The Trump report found  that his plan to permanently extend the 2017   tax cuts would add over 4 trillion to deficits  over the next 10 years. His proposal to eliminate   taxes on social security benefits comes with  a $1.2 trillion price tag. While his pledge to   further reduce corporate taxes would add nearly  6 billion, the Harris analysis showed that her   plan to expand the child tax credit, the earned  income tax credit, and other tax credits, would   raise deficits by 2.1 trillion in the coming 10  years. And her proposal to create a 25,000 subsidy   for all qualifying first time home buyers would  add 140 billion over a decade. But the Harris   Report found that raising the corporate tax rate  to 28% from its current level of 21% as the vice   president has floated, could partially offset  the cost of her spending by 1.1 trillion. So   to put that, in other words, yeah, both economic  plans are gonna add to the debt and the deficit. The only difference is that Donald Trump has  no idea how to pay for his stuff. He has no   plans to pay for it. In fact, he's doing the  opposite of paying for it by giving people more   tax breaks. The wealthy, not us, of course. And so  it drives up the deficit even further. Meanwhile,   Harris's plan costs 2 trillion, but she has a  plan to at least pay for 1 trillion of it over   10 years. So her cost gets cut in half the amount  it would raise the debt and deficit cut in half   because she actually has a plan to pay for it.  So there you go. And this is just by the way,   the tip of the iceberg in terms of Donald Trump's  horrific economic plan. Because let's not forget   that this man has actually floated the  idea of putting a 10% tariff on every   single good coming into the United States  that would decimate the middle class here In the United States decimated. And by the way,  that's not me saying that, that is economists.   Not to mention the fact that we have had 16 Nobel  Prize winning economists who have come out and   trashed other portions of Donald Trump's economic  plan, specifically his plan to deport millions of,   uh, immigrants here in the United States that  would decimate the economy and drive prices sky   high for consumers, no matter which way you slice  it. Everybody that has looked at Donald Trump's   economic plans without political blinders on have  told us this man is a disaster waiting to happen.   So maybe this November, let's not put the disaster  back in charge of United States economic policy.
