When host Chris Wallace asked whether Trump’s tax and spending plan adds up, Gingrich admitted the absurdity. Trump’s plan is so preposterous that even his surrogates won’t do that. But Gingrich also had to acknowledge that his candidate’s economic plan is nonsense. Clinton has acknowledged that her economic plan would require increasing the national debt by about 2 percent. But according to Fox, Trump’s plan would add $11.2 trillion onto the national debt ― most of that fueled by tax cuts for the wealthy.
