His plans to extend and deepen tax cuts for corporations and the wealthy could add $7.5 trillion to the national debt. Historical evidence debunks claims that such cuts pay for themselves through economic growth. Additionally, federal spending obligations\u2014such as Social Security and defense\u2014leave little room for discretionary cuts without drastic measures, making deficit elimination nearly impossible.<\/span><\/h4>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stiglitz argues that meaningful reform requires bipartisan cooperation, including progressive tax policies and strengthened public programs.
