"AAF: It is now clear that the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) will frame the politics of choosing the policy agenda for 2018 and beyond. The attacks by progressives are also already clear; they will argue that TCJA is the source of budget deficits and rising debt. This is nonsense"

"AAF: One reason for progressives to push this indefensible claim is to bait conservatives into arguing that entitlement spending is the problem (which is true) and that one has to cut entitlements in order to control deficits and debt"

"AAF: A better case for entitlement reform is that the programs themselves serve their beneficiaries poorly. In the absence of reform, Social Security promises to cut retirees' benefits 25 percent across the board in just under 20 years."
