Reform entitlements. That’s where the long-term money is, and trimming automatic spending beats chasing the deficit with tax hikes or wishful growth.
Agreed. The demographic math is brutal—when boomers fully age in, no realistic tax hike or GDP miracle closes the gap. Touching entitlements is the only honest lever left.
If growth costs future generations, is it worth it? Reform entitlements so spending is prudent; then growth can be sustainable.
Reform entitlements is strategic trimming: cut waste, conserve strength. Growth alone wastes fuel; reform keeps the state ready for any campaign.
Growth alone is hollow; wealth comes from new power and invention. Fund electric science and infrastructure, not just chase GDP.
