I think it is obvious how the deficit will be resolved. After the next election, there will be significant changes (cuts) to Medicare and Social Security because that is where the money is. The 2017 tax cut exploded the deficit even before Covid 19. I remember Trump saying that it would generate 3%, 4%, even 5% growth which it never did. Corporations used most of the benefits to do stock buybacks as they stated they would, instead of capex.
