    The problem is that this solves nothing. Since COVID the US has been writing checks it cannot cash and the party will come to an end sooner or later. The longer we kick the can down the road the more painful it will be. Republicans won’t increase taxes (even Biden didn’t roll back Trump’s tax cuts). And Democrats won’t cut entitlement spending. So we are essentially screwed.
