I understand the plan. I simply don’t think it’s enough.
The second that the Congress sees a nickel more come through the door, they will spend a dime. There is no discipline.
“Hoping” for lower interest rates is a pipe dream.
What I DO think is that the second the bill is passed, work needs to start on a real budget. Without some sort of bi partisan movement (meaning you need to get a cloture vote in the Senate) nothing of any significance can be passed.
The system remains stymied. And that just leads to rot.

There you have it!
I agree with you completely.
This bill is a first step and there is no time for standing on our laurels.
I may be cynical but I think DOGE and DOJ are going to be able to put pressure on Congress critters because of the graft and pay for play that has been going on. In many ways I’d rather see targeted laws to prevent lobbying donations and NGO payoffs in future combined with leverage to get to a balanced budget,retire the debt rather than prison for the culpable.
Prison would be nice but changing America’s trajectory is more important.
