    He’s been in office for under five months. Solving 80% of the deficit is a pretty damn good start, and if he has to kick the other 20% down the road, so be it.

      And tbf, “deferring it for others to balance in the future” maybe, or maybe he does it later in this term, or gets reelected, and so he’s bought himself time to balance that bit instead of “others.”

      While that comment may be right that it technically isn’t balanced, it’s certainly an improvement and there’s no guarantee he won’t be able to finish that bit at a later date himself, and so far he didn’t even raise taxes, which I’ll be honest is impressive, even if you happened to disagree with any of his other politics you can’t hate that.
