This is what we've been saying. I hope Elon has a few more eyeballs reading his posts than we do here in TNCR. Maybe it'll make a difference. Trump loves his brand. He should create a 20-year country-saving bill that slowly cuts spending and reduces the debt over 20 years. It can be called the "Trump Saves America Bill" that cannot be touched for 20 years until we no longer are in debt. Trump's legacy will be in solid gold.

Yeah most of the debt increase comes from the TCJA extension and he’d vote for that standalone.

@Axtremus Who benefits from having that in the bill? Some group obviously lobby to get it included.
That’s probably the most sensible thing in the bill. You want the California legislature to govern AI?

Op-Ed by Dario Amodei, the CEO of Anthropic, an AI technology company:
... a 10-year moratorium is far too blunt an instrument. A.I. is advancing too head-spinningly fast. I believe that these systems could change the world, fundamentally, within two years; in 10 years, all bets are off. Without a clear plan for a federal response, a moratorium would give us the worst of both worlds — no ability for states to act, and no national policy as a backstop.

Considering how poorly the CBO projected the 2017 TCJA, why should we trust their numbers this time?

Senate GOP slashes megabill's tax costs with new accounting method
The "new accounting method" basically do not account for extensions of the 2017 tax cuts as a "cost."
So instead of $3.8 Trillion, using the "new accounting method," the Senate GOP's version of the bill is now said to cost only $440 Billion.
They would still need to raise the debt ceiling by $5 Trillion (or suspend it altogether), but with this new accounting method they say the bill will cost only $440 Billion.

Extending the Trump Tax Cuts from 2017 may or may not promote more growth than the CBO projects, but expiring the tax cuts kills any possibility for growth, and frankly renders the $5 fucking Trillion debt limit extension irrelevant.

It seems you have given up on the argument that says reducing the national deficit/debt can itself be pro growth.
