#shorts Rep. Garret Graves said, “something that’s important to keep in mind and one of the things we realized in our negotiations, there has never been a 10-year deal that has been abided by. As the chairman just said, Congress always comes in and changes it. We did score Limit Safe Grow over 10 years as we started studying some of these previous deals and realized they don’t ever abide by that, and there was some pushback during negotiations. We realized that a six-year was a bit more honest and transparent in regard to the savings, and we believe that that’s going to generate somewhere around 2 trillion in savings from those caps alone, not even talking about some of the other huge policies.

Well, sure, but I mean, keep in mind that any year, you could lose the House, Senate, and as you could have Democratic control, the House, Senate, and White House all over again, and you could have us return to reckless spending. There’s nothing we can do that doesn’t, excuse me, there’s nothing we can do that binds the next Congress. There’s nothing you can do. So, what we’ve tried to put in is the strongest enforcement mechanism to truly change that trajectory, put us on a financially sustainable path, and I think that this was a really good win.
