Not a dem. Was in gov during Reagan admin. GOP left me. Was retained to analyze BBB. It's not "ordinary partisan bad." It's "end of America" bad. Hoping for repeal/replace the BBB. If Dems use it, could end GOP Not what I want, but orders of magnitude better than what BBB will do to us

“Repeal/replace” ain’t it that just warming over republican arguments. We need different arguments

Settle for repeal. Everyone who's done the analysis we did agrees it won't last 10 years. Got to go back to Cromwell and the English Civil War to find a legislative act this bad. I'll worry about republicans vs democrats once it's gone. Happy to cheer on dems until then.

I am interested why you think this tax law won’t last a decade? (Personally, I am more worried about the ‘current policy baseline’ BS they GOP pulled to extend the trump 1 cuts too)

BBB: Deficits front-loaded, cuts backloaded => huge surge in unsecured debt = Gross Fiscal Irresponsibility (GFI). Gross like in GDP Think "Latin America" (Arg 2020-2023) GFI is like buying a mansion with a credit card and then giving it away Rural USA's credit card Result is econ crisis

Cuts backloaded => next year worse every year Economic suicide Add in tariffs, gov no ability to borrow to get us out, ... We won't commit suicide. BBB repealed first

Interesting. Persuasive My personal opinion is the bottom has already fallen out and we don't know it yet. But I find it hard to believe that capital is going to let Congress eat into their goodies that they just got.
