2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Disclaimer: If Trump runs to the left of Hillary, we could be in big trouble [View all]moriah
(8,311 posts)20. When did he make that flip-flop?
Because IBTimes analyzed Hillary and Trump's tax plans, which showed his to be the exact opposite.
By keeping taxes largely the same for most Americans, Clintons plan would reduce the federal deficit by approximately $1.2 trillion in the next decade while still funding many government programs, the Tax Policy Center reported. Offsetting the tax cuts outlined in Trumps tax plan would require significant reductions in federal spending.

You have to make a judgment as to who is the best leader, and who is going to reflect American values and wont bankrupt us.
