Knock yourself out.  I like to call it "The plan to bankrupt America."  The gist of her plan--spend, spend, spend.  Where's the money gonna come from?  We'll just tax the rich.

And sadlier, neither one will do much of anything.

Presidents don't have the ability to implement much of what either one is advocating. That's Congress. And this Congress — if we view the majority of the members by their votes while they've been in office — is only going to support more tax cuts for upper and lower incomes, and more spending that benefits upper incomes. Who knows how trump will respond to that and Clinton likely will go along with it, using it as leverage to pass one or two initiatives (my guess is upping the minimum wage and student debt reform, which will help the Dems in the future try to garner younger and lower income voters, while the Repubs won't care as the spend more/tax less will benefit their supporters to keep pumping money into the party).
