How each part scored

  • Cut military spending by 5% (deployed forces)−$45B per year on National defense

    A 5% cut to national defense scores at the reference anchor of about -$45B/yr when fully phased in, with the deployed-forces targeting treated as a distribution choice that does not change the total. Confidence 55%.

  • 3% tax on corporate revenue above $1B (gross receipts tax)+$300B per year on Corporate income tax

    Assumes the tax applies to gross revenue (not profit) above $1B per corporation, with roughly $15-20 trillion of such revenue; after behavioral response, deductibility against income tax, and pass-through to prices, net revenue is estimated at about $300B/yr. Confidence 20%.
