The Committe for a Responsible Federal Budget has analyzed the proposals of the two major candidates for President and determined that Mr. Trump's policies would raise the federal debt by $5.3 trillion over current law, while Mrs. Clinton's would raise it by 200 billion. (These estimates cover the next decade.) Note that this is a static analysis that does not take into account growth effects of their proposals.

Promises and Price Tags: A Preliminary Update
The next president will enter office with the national debt at post-World War II record high levels. Debt held by the public currently totals over $14 trillion – nearly 77 percent of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) – and is projected to grow as a share of the economy to almost 86 percent by 2026 and about 150 percent by 2050. This large and growing national debt threatens to slow economic growth and is ultimately unsustainable. Yet neither presidential candidate has a plan to address it.

In June 2016, we released Promises and Price Tags: A Fiscal Guide to the 2016 Election, which estimated the budgetary impact of the policies put forward by the two major party presidential candidates – Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. Since then, the candidates have released several new or adjusted policies.

Incorporating rough and preliminary estimates of these new policies, we find that Clinton’s plans would increase the debt by $200 billion over a decade above current law levels (compared to our prior estimate of $250 billion), and Trump’s plans would increase the debt by $5.3 trillion (compared to our prior estimate of $11.5 trillion). As a result, debt would rise to above 86 percent of GDP under Clinton and 105 percent under Trump.
