The Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget crunched some numbers that pushed Credit.com to say a Donald Trump presidency would "have Miracle-Gro-like affect" on the national debt.
The report suggests Hillary Clinton and Trump would dig us deeper into debt over the next decade. It estimates Clinton would add $250 billion compared to Trump's $11.5 trillion.
The report criticized both candidates for not having a plan to fix the national debt, despite their plans for taxes, immigration, energy and health care.
The report did nod at how their rhetoric may be changing. Both Clinton and Trump have acknowledged the seriousness of long-term debt in recent days.
The committee estimated the current national debt at $14 trillion. Without action, it said the growing debt is unsustainable and that rising debt will cause slower wage growth along with higher costs for mortgages and student loans.
