""The big thing is growth," responded the POTUS. "Growth is the way we go from high debt to low debt. We're going to be growing our way out, and I think we're going to be paying down debt." Trump's frequently stated that his manifesto that champions sweeping deregulation and domestic manufacturing, alongside the rapid rise of AI-Trump trumpets that he personally orchestrated the technology's single biggest initiative, the $500 billion, multi-partner Stargate data center project-will unleash a productivity revolution igniting a historic surge in productivity."
"As America generates more and more goods and services per worker and dollar newly invested in plants, fabs and data centers, GDP will shift to a far higher gear, bringing an enduring surge of tax receipts-even at the One Big Beautiful Bill's reduced rates. The question naturally arises: What kind of pace of expansion versus what the Congressional Budget Office now predicts, would be required to erase the bulging, structural gulf between revenues and expenses,"
President Trump claims that faster economic growth will convert high federal deficits into lower debt and enable paying down obligations. The growth strategy emphasizes sweeping deregulation, expansion of domestic manufacturing, and accelerated AI-driven investment including a cited $500 billion Stargate data center initiative. The Congressional Budget Office and most private forecasters expect deficits and debt to worsen under current policies. The Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget employed the CBO baseline to model an alternative scenario and estimate how much quicker GDP must grow to close the structural gap between revenues and spending. The feasibility of achieving such sustained growth remains uncertain.
