Which is now estimated to cost more than $1 trillion over the next 10 years and between $2 trillion and $4 trillion by 2050, and did absolutely nothing to reduce inflation. Ya know, a bait and switch.
What Trump should be doing now is negotiating with our allies (and Mexico with pressure to fix their damn country) for truly free trade, no tariffs. But I fear he really thinks we can go back to 1913 where the government is funded by tariffs and no income tax.
And then he needs to push to return the federal budget back to 2019 level: $4.4T. The 2024 federal revenue was $4.9T, this would be a surplus of $0.5T. I think we could survive at the 2019 level, even with the additional interest. Plenty of fat to trim (and pigs squeal).
Maybe we need another "Inflation Reduction Act".
