EXCERPT:
HALPERIN: “I don’t think it’s why he pursued the tariffs, but I think absolutely, because the way they passed this bill, because there will be disagreements about raising the debt ceiling or how much to cut things, how much to cut taxes, is to say the presidency is on the line and the House is on fire because everybody’s against us for your tariffs. Let’s pass this. So I think — I think they’re going to pass it much sooner with the forcing mechanism no being the raising of the debt ceiling, not being the expiration of the tax cuts. The forcing mechanism is we got to pass something that’s popular, tax cuts, energy, deregulation. And I think they’ve got a much better chance now because of tariffs than they did before.”
