LOL, that is BS. That is ok as we have to use growth, tariffs and reduction of costly over regulation as well as the tax cuts this time dur to the enormity of the deficit  The CBO PHD'd (which will not release their calculations) projected doom, gloom and a reduction in tax revenues before the Trump cuts. In actuality tax revenues went up. Actually there is plenty of tax money after the proposed tax cuts to balance the budget and pay down debt in time. IF the government would eliminate waste/fraud, only provide services currently agreed to. OH and also quit stealing the money. The government is not suppose to be a charity.

Revenue was down from 2017 to 2018, then up slightly the next year, then down slightly again.
Revenue was basically flat while both the economy and the number of retirees grew.
The tax cuts simply didn't work as advertised.

3.46And they will be less effective this time, with interest rates already high.

Odds. I show tax revenues:

2015  3.25 Trillion
2016  3.27
2017  3.32
2018  3.33
2019  3.46
2020  3.42
2021  4.05
2022  4.90

The PHD pundits had a forecast of the reverse. You can see the revenues rising pretty smoothly with a bout 1% inflation until 2020. That is when the Biden policies attacking our energy independence began. The revenues declined that year then rebounded as we headed towards peak inflation of 9% in 2022. Interestingly enough the tax reductions were not changed under Biden nor were the tariffs Trump put in place. So extending them is already in the numbers not in addition to like the CBO is calculating. They do need to keep cutting back to the pre covid level.

David Hogg thinks Jasmine Crockett is the leader the Democrats need. I wholly agree!

At some point you just have to let go of what you thought should happen and live in what is happening.

Enlighten us please.

Since 2010 Congress has done little more than adjust budgets and tax rates.  The Presidents have been free to just issue executive orders reinterpreting old laws, and then they dare the courts to stop them.

If Congress would go in and update the old laws themselves, they would take back the power they are supposed to have. It would no longer be so important to make sure that the right guy is President and that he appoints the right guys to be chairs of the EPA, CDC, NRLB, FCC, the FEC, INS, etc etc. If Congress gave updated and clear direction to those agencies, Presidents would not feel so free to make things up.

The main example of a President just making things up through executive order is DACA, under Obama, of course. But Trump and Biden have given us examples also.

It's true that the balance of power between the branches of government has shifted over time, and executive orders have become more prominent—but it's an oversimplification to say that Congress has only adjusted budgets and tax rates since 2010.

Congress has passed major legislation even in recent years—such as the Affordable Care Act (2010), the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (2017), the CARES Act (2020), the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (2021), and the Inflation Reduction Act (2022). These are not minor tweaks—they shape healthcare, taxes, economic recovery, climate policy, and infrastructure.

As for executive orders, they often fill in gaps where Congress is deadlocked. While the concern about executive overreach is legitimate, it’s worth noting that many executive actions—like DACA—stem from real-world policy challenges that Congress has repeatedly failed to resolve. DACA, for example, came after years of failed bipartisan efforts to pass the DREAM Act. It didn’t come out of nowhere—it addressed the reality of undocumented children brought to the U.S. through no fault of their own, in the absence of congressional action.

Moreover, agencies like the EPA or CDC need some level of interpretive authority to function effectively, especially as science, technology, and society evolve faster than legislation. Executive appointees aren’t just inventing policy—they're implementing broad congressional mandates.

The deeper issue is gridlock and polarization in Congress, not just executive ambition. If we want less policymaking by executive order, we need a Congress willing and able to legislate on tough, often politically risky issues—not just a better balance of power, but a better functioning legislature.

Well said. Our elected representatives work more for the good of the party than the country. Compromise has become a lost art which is further exacerbated by a press functioning as a political arm rather than reporting. I wonder sometimes if we’ll ever emerge from this divisive malaise.

I was including the 2010 Affordable Care Act as major, and I wouldn't include the others as major because they didn't really change regulatory structures or law. Even though they were long and took a lot of effort to pass, they were more about taxes and spending. But to your main point, you're absolutely right.
How do we get a better functioning legislature?
