@jmhorp@Galepooley Yes and sometime in that 20 years the Tesla will have to replace its battery. It will also have to replace the drive unit multiple times
@charliebilello The increase is almost entirely due to the increase in the percentage of people over 70, the aging of the population. And most people don’t increase savings until after the kids have graduated and left the home and they can cut spending
@SenAlexPadilla Private donations are paying for the ballroom, and remember even Obama wanted a ballroom but couldn’t figure out how to pay for it. Obama also spent more than double what Trump did in the reflecting pool and still didn’t fix it

@DElstrodt@SteveRattner Yes and 10 million needs to be added to Trump1 to represent the situation before Covid. That’s representative of the effect of Trump’s policies
@RepAdamSmith IRS revenues increased after the tax cuts due to the stimulative effect in the economy and due to corporations repatriating billions of dollars kept in overseas bank as. We have a spending problem not a revenue problem
