If there is no corresponding tax cut, there will be a recession or depression. Even if there is a tax cut, there is no guarantee that money won’t be used for other things (to buy assets, save, or pay down debt).

A tax cut probably won't do a lot to help people who aren't making taxable income.

Considering Trump and Musk are actively killing the CFPB, which was put in place after the last time the 2008 great recession, it'll likely be sooner and worse than people think.

Why would you cut taxes when you're trying to reduce a deficit? Especially taxes on the wealthy and on corporations?

To avoid a self-induced recession comparable to the covid pandemic.
