Policy Debate: Clinton vs. Trump

I forgot to mention that BoP is shared. Sorry about that! :)Also, before I start, could you provide sources for your claims? Just add them in the comments or something. i. TaxesHillary will cut taxes for small businesses nationwide so that they can prosper and grow. She will close tax loopholes for the rich and make sure that the most prosperous are not paying less than the middle class in taxes. Seems pretty straightforward, so I'm going to leave it at that. . https://www.hillaryclinton.com...Trump's tax policy (. https://www.donaldjtrump.com...), on the other hand, which involves a dramatic tax cut, will raise the national debt, according to the Tax Policy Center, "by an estimated 39 percent of GDP in 2026 and by nearly 80 percent of GDP by 2036. " (. http://www.debate.org...) [full report here: . http://www.taxpolicycenter.org...] The Trump plan also would reduce the incentive to donate to charity by lowering possible charitable tax deductions. Considering that Trump plans massive spending projects such as massively growing the military, tripling border enforcement, and others, our national debt would skyrocket if Mr. Trump were to be elected. ii. Gun policyHillary will fight for the proposed "No Fly, No Buy" legislation that prevents suspected terrorists from buying guns or ammunition. She will fight for stronger background checks and close the "Charleston loophole" that allows people to bypass background checks after three days have passed. Our gun policy has so many gaping holes, in fact, that terrorists cite it in their recruitment videos. An Al-Qaeda spokesman in a 2011 video said, "America is absolutely awash with easily obtainable firearms. You can go down to a gun show at the local convention center and come away with a fully automatic assault rifle without a background check and most likely without having to show an identification card. .. So what are you waiting for? "Generally when terrorists talk of "easily obtainable firearms" as a reason to go out and commit terror attacks, it's an indicator that we may have a problem. But Mr. Trump wants none of this, and instead wants to loosen background checks and other regulations. . https://assets.donaldjtrump.com... doesn't make very much sense to me. iii. CounterterrorismClinton has a detailed plan to take out the Islamic State--she would seek to take out its top leaders, such as al-Baghdadi, continue airstrikes, and partner with the Kurdish and Iraqi troops on the ground to take out Islamic State strongholds. (. https://www.hillaryclinton.com...)Trump, on the other hand, has no such detailed plan, other than "Bomb the sh*t" out of them. Does that sound like much of a plan to you? Next he said that his plan was secret, so that the United States could be "unpredictable," but he indicated that it would be "foolproof. " When pressed to explain further on the issue, he said that he would compile a group of generals to make him a plan, which is rather concerning considering that he knows more about the Islamic State than they do. Then he said he'd fire those same generals who were supposedly the foundation of his foolproof plan. (. http://www.politico.com...)iv. Effect on jobsAccording to an analysis by the Penn Wharton Budget model, the Trump plan would benefit the economy in the very short term, but would result in 11,000,000 lost jobs by 2040. Clinton, on the other hand, would result in slow growth over the short term, but add 2,000,000 jobs by 2040. (. http://fortune.com...)I have to leave it at that for now. I will address other important issues in further rounds. :)
