The previously unthinkable
What was once unthinkable has now become commonplace and ignored as unimportant. It's like the use of the "f" word. It was once considered vulgar and profane, but is now just another adjective.
Quote:
In February, under what was current law at the time, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO)
projected the budget deficit would total $2.3 trillion in 2021, $1.1 trillion in 2022, and $1.9 trillion in 2031. Incorporating the direct effects of the American Rescue Plan Act, we project the deficit will now total $3.4 trillion this year – higher than last year’s record
$3.1 trillion – and $1.6 trillion in 2022.
I wonder how we intend to rescue ourselves from bottomless debt produced by the American Rescue Plan Act?
