4.2 Trillion in Tax Cuts: The Hidden Cost of GOP's Layer2 Policy Shift

The False Premise of Fiscal Innovation

I’ve spent five years decoding blockchain-like fiscal architectures—not because I believe in politics, but because the math doesn’t lie. The GOP’s $4.2 trillion tax proposal isn’t growth; it’s a Layer2 protocol built on broken consensus mechanisms. Just like an unsecured L2 chain inflating gas fees, this plan reroutes value from social safety nets to concentrated wealth.

Layer1 vs Layer2: Who Pays the Gas?

The original blockchain—tax policy as it existed pre-2017—had clear gas limits and enforced fee structures. Now? Limits are raised from \(1T to \)4.2T overnight. But who validates these blocks? Not the middle class. Not Medicare recipients. It’s the same actors who voted last Saturday at midnight EST (that’s Sunday morning in Beijing). The ledger is immutable—but not fair.

Rerouting Value, Not Optimizing Equity

This isn’t about ‘economic growth.’ It’s about reassigning validation power to nodes that never paid for public infrastructure. Cutting Medicaid? Canceling clean energy credits? These aren’t trade-offs—they’re silent withdrawals from societal stakeholder equity.

The Cold Math Behind the Vote

I ran the numbers again: net outlays + speculative tax gains = zero-sum game with no real validators left on-chain. Biden-era policies were designed for stability; this one is designed for extraction.

If you care about transparency, ask yourself: Who are the miners here?
