Debt and Entitlements: The question I would ask - Currently we are running a $500B/yr deficit, paying historically low interest rates on the debt of $200B/yr. (this amount could triple if interests rates go up to what we have traditionally seen in the last forty years), and have one of the highest debt to GDP ratios of large liberal democracies (Debt - $19T, GDP - $17T). We will also need to start paying off the Social Security debt in four years to the tune of $200B/yr.
What are you going to do to address these issues (could also throw in health care cost growth).
The economy - What will you do to increase GDP growth rate from 1.5% -2% which is about 2% lower than Clinton for example.

(17,865 posts)I may have not reviewed Hillary Clinton's proposals much, but it looks like her revenue increases are offset by new program proposed spending. No one seems to be talking about the baseline spending and commitments.

Complete travesty to put a corrupt organization like Fox News in charge of a presidential debate.
