The tax cuts will happen quickly but the spending cuts are delayed. Haven't seen the timeline for the final version, but the Senate version pushed many of the unpopular cuts out into the 2028/2029 time frame. The pricks know we are going to take the House and maybe the Senate and Oval Office by then and they are going to lie and blame Democrats. MAGA is stupid enough to believe it.
