Sgt Tom Cunnally Do you know how you can tell when Hillary is lying? Thaaaaat's right, her mouth is moving. But, seriously, our deficit stands at around $18,152,809,942,589 right now. That is approximately $8,000,000,000,000 more than when Obama took Office. I just think that this is a lot of zeros for a President who said he would balance the national debt.
Short answer: Hillary is wrong !!

Actually, that number you posted is the national debt, not the deficit. They aren't the same although they are related. The deficit is the lowest it's been since 2009, but the debt is definitely that high.

Hillary Clinton’s tax plan
In a recent speech at New York University, Hillary Clinton proposed higher capital gains taxes. The proposal is intended to combat short-term investing, which Clinton argues diverts capital away from more productive alternatives. Clinton’s plan calls for a sliding scale of rates, with shorter-term investments taxed at higher rates than they are now. Under the current rate system, short-term capital gains from assets held for one year or less are taxed at ordinary income rates, which can be as high as 39.6%. High earners will also usually owe the 3.8% Medicare surtax for a combined top tax rate of 43.4% on short-term gains. The current maximum rate on long-term gains from assets held for more than one year is 23.8%.

Hillary Clinton says the U.S. economy does better with a Democrat in the White House, citing research by two Princeton economists. But the authors of that report do not credit Democratic fiscal policies for the economic growth.
In fact, the authors say “our empirical analysis does not attribute any of the partisan growth gap to fiscal or monetary policy.”
Clinton has made the claim numerous times in recent weeks — usually in the context of her economic plan, as she did during the first Democratic debate
