> This is the US political process seeing a major problem and cycling through options to check for alternatives other than raising taxes on a voting constituency

It’s the political process using a known problem to distract people. There is no intent to not take any new revenue or budget savings and convert it into more spending and/or tax cuts. We don’t have anyone in the government serious about deficit reduction. That’s clear in the policy proposals being put forward.
