If history is any indication, it won't even go towards fixing the debt. Capital Gains tax cut incoming in 3... 2... 1...

That's already planned. The republicans want to pass another 4.5 trillion of tax cuts for the richest 0.1%

They simply lie to their supporters, and are believed because republicans are indoctrinated throughout life to believe that "government bad, corporations good, taxes bad, money good, collective power bad, individual power good"

trump said before the election he didn't know what project 2025 was. He lied, pure and simple.

It's deeper than lying about P25. P25 was allegedly an intentionally public document, designed to grab the media spotlight. It is actually plausible that trump had never seen a single page of that document by design.

There is a secret runbook that goes much further than P25 which the same authors ensured was never printed or emailed anywhere which could be susceptible to FOIA. That is the runbook they have been using since day 1, which likely contained all 74 of his day 1 orders pre-written.

Trump is too reactionary to have an N-step plan. The man thrives in chaos and uncertainty. Furthermore project 25 is large enough I'd be a lot more surprised if whatever happens wasn't on that wishlist somewhere.

The TCJA made $4.5T in cuts for the richest 0.1%? Can you explain more about that? Is that by income, wealth?

Trump lied about a lot of things.

The concept of "electoral fraud" is enshrined in law, so I guess more lawsuits are coming.

The entire federal workforce is 4% of expenses. If they wanted to cut costs, they would halt all private contracts and audit those first.

What capital gains? Everyone will be getting tax relief next year for market losses.
