Convenient to avoid criticism when you don't actually say anything of


substance. I don't remember the details on how it was scored, but remember it was scored in the $10T range over the next 10 yrs. Only Bernie was higher, and "true Conservative" Cruz was next on the list.

But you can begin with his promise not to touch SS or Medicare/aid (input or output). You can add his promise to make the Military yoooge. Not to mention how he's going to "take care of the Vets". And then his tax plan (his biggest addition iirc), which I actually like in principal (essentially a 3 tier flat tax with only mortgage interest and charitable deductions iirc, so a good start), but had rates that were probably too low, and I believe got rid of all inheritance taxes (good for the Trump progeny and his friends) and reduced or even got rid of Cap Gains taxes (a mistake IMO and would be a tough sell). Then of course you have to add the cost of that little wall he wants to build, it's enforcement, and oh yeah, the cost of rounding up and deporting those 11M already here he keeps getting a pass on (and will never happen IMO).

I realize all those scoring things are rife with ways to game them, but there isn't much in what little he has said that makes you believe it will do anything but balloon the debt. Of course, he'll just make up for it by cutting "waste, fraud and abuse". And that 45% tax on any iPhones not made in Cuppertino.
