@MoiraDonegan No, I wasn’t using bad faith to boost my self regard or “pursue a social position.” I was disagreeing with the likeliest meaning of what you wrote. I’ll take your word for it that you meant something different.

@herr_naphta Is it good? I haven't read Eagleton in a long time but I recall finding him a little annoying. That could be wrong though, as I've been stupid for a good portion of my reading life.

Good thing cutting $4 billion a day in spending won’t have any impact on economic growth. It’s honestly exhausting what a moron he is.
Reducing the federal deficit from $2T to $1T in FY2026 requires cutting an average of ~$4B/day in projected 2026 spending from now to Sept 30. That would still result in a ~$1T deficit, but economic growth should be able to match that number, which would mean no inflation in 2026. Super big deal.

@DanielDenvir But as you say, a lot—hopefully everything?—hinges on how ordinary people respond.
