View submission: Elon Musk can’t balance the budget
But we’re not in a recession or pandemic right now. Keynesian economic policy (I know trump is not one nor does he care) advocates for increased spending during downturns to spur growth and soften the landing, then cut back when the economic is healthy and growing. The deficit was notably eliminated during the Clinton era in the 90s, when we were in a boom cycle.
That said, it’s still stupid to target arbitrarily large numbers of spending cuts without any deeper consideration
There's nothing here!
