Trump is our only chance to actually get a “no”, and a tough enough negotiator to make real demands, pursuant to our goals, to trade a “yes” IF he concedes at all.

Where will he come up with the half-trillion dollars in cuts that would make the borrowing cap increase unnecessary?

“Where will he come up with the half-trillion dollars in cuts that would make the borrowing cap increase unnecessary?”

We’re discussing this on FreeRepublic.com.

If you don’t already know that answer (and ask with the implication “he can’t”), then you haven’t been on this site long enough.

ONLY a half-trillion in cuts? Yeah, we can do that.
Simplest form: invoke the “government shutdown” by not passing the cap increase. Only “essential operations” will continue. There you go: $0.5T in cuts (or more) overnight. For anything “not essential”, subject it to Congressional review as to why it should be funded with what little is available.
