Washington is a city of magical thinking — both parties practice it. Hence, insane deficits under Presidents Biden, Trump, Obama and Bush. We'll grow our way of it! Even if we never do.
Washington is not a city of math thinking. It's too inconvenient to apply common-sense arithmetic. Instead, you get wonky "dynamic scoring," "budget windows" and "future growth." A true tell: The solution is always in a future that never comes.
Our favorite new D.C. math: Republicans are backing word and math fog called "current-policy baseline," which allows them to "score" lower taxes as costing nothing. Why? Because they're just extending expiring tax cuts. Make sense? That's the magic of D.C. math.

Thomas Massie was the only Republican to vote against it.
The only fiscal conservative left in DC? Even Boebert and MTG supported it.
Thomas Sowell: There are no solutions, just trade-offs.
