Totally agree—$5 trillion is too much. But we didn’t get here overnight. It took decades of reckless spending and bipartisan neglect to pile up this mountain of debt. Fixing it won’t be painless, but the path forward starts by bending the curve—lowering interest costs, shrinking deficits over time, and unlocking real growth. Trump’s OBBBA is just the first move in a longer game. It slows the bleeding and lays the foundation. But to finish the job, we need to stay in control of Congress and keep the pressure on. This is a long war, not a single battle.
The tariffs are currently generating $2B a day, folks. And its growing. Realistically $1T per year is going to be the result. That equalizes through Trump's term what new spending occurs. And that's just the tariffs. Add to that what $10T in new manufacturing will generate, and the result is an economic tsunami win for the United States. Common sense here.
I hard him say that also, while during the presser with Netanyahu. How do you go from $10T to $15T in just a matter of several weeks with no other fanfare? Because it's Trump, I guess... 😆
More realistic estimates place annual tariff revenue between $300–$450 billion, totaling $3–$4.5 trillion over a decade—more than enough to offset the OBBBA’s $3-$3.5 trillion deficit. Projected new manufacturing investments of $6–$7 trillion could add $340–$600 billion to output. Together, tariffs and investment drive growth—creating 5.4 million jobs and pushing GDP to 2.5%–3%, far above the CBO’s static 1.8% projection.
I love how you explain all the benefits. I am upset at the 5 trillion in spending. Until
We stil spending and shrink debt, nothing is ever going to change. How do we fix that?

Trump said yesterday that there were $15 trillion in new investment in manufacturing. Will dig into this when time allows.

Trump, just yesterday, said $2B in daily tariff revenue AND $10T in new mfg commitments. I wonder what his sources are....
Perhaps Trump has information that’s not yet made public. I’ll check.
A must-read for every American! It explains the benefits of the big, beautiful bill like no one else!
