The $11T gap between White House and economists on Trump's 'big, beautiful' bill

This is about as close as mainstream journalism can get to saying "the President has made up the numbers".

It's also one of the rare articles whose NYT-style scroll-hijacking is a benefit rather than a nuisance.

If we go by prior behavior, blame the Biden administration, blame our trading partners and allies (if we have any left by then), then democratic states, then immigrants, then minorities and the more vulnerable in society… eventually they may turn on their own escape goats.

It’s hard to believe a superpower could self-sabotage so throughly.

>what’s the plan for the election?

Boogeyman. It's always a boogeyman.

Recently, we've had transgendered people, antifa, DEI, migrants, and sleepy joe. As the acute impact wears off they switch to something else based on A-B testing of which generates the most fear.

It'll be something, but what?

Honestly my bet is on black people. They're going to go full-on racist. We'll probably see shit about phrenology, genetics, and degeneracy with the historically successful (to their target audience) descriptors of vermin and leeches.

All of this bullshit to lower taxes for billionaires and enable their successionist libertarian microstate fantasies.

You leave girl math out of this.

'girl math'? really? It's literally a bunch of old men and always has been.
