I believe the projected deficit will be 2 trillion, meaning it puts us half way if we can trim 2 trillion of it. We can likely do more than 1 trillion of cuts and any additional economic growth we can unleash will also reduce the remining trillion by adding to budget revenue. Also anything the Feds can sell that we are losing money on currently will help, like federal office buildings that are unused due to workers quitting rather than returning to in-person jobs or combining half empty spaces.
Thanks for that the numbers are mind boggling this is inevitable then.
