View submission: Elon Musk can’t balance the budget
$2 trillion in cuts isn’t happening but I applaud any government that reduces the deficit substantially. Even if he cuts $500 billion I’d call him a success.

One way to instantly cut the deficit would be for citizens and corporations alike to pay their fair share of taxes.
Usually if most citizens don't have enough money to pay their expenses they try to increase their income usually with a side gig. Not suggesting the government get a side gig however, based on the amount accomplished by the House this past session they apparently can't even manage the one job they do have.
One way to raise money is through taxes. And yet the world's richest man thanks to his Dad isn't looking at increasing revenue - he wants to cut spending. Color me skeptical.
