could you imagine if these guys basically used Doge as a mechanism to shrink the tax code, create a flat tax, potentially... the idea of just cutting this all the way down, and then finding through that process what you actually need, I think, can find America 100 to 200 basis points of GDP growth. It could be an economic renaissance.View on YouTube
The prediction is a conditional causal claim: if DOGE were used to radically simplify the U.S. tax code (e.g., implement a flat tax and drastically shrink the code), then U.S. real GDP growth would rise by about 1–2 percentage points and create a sustained expansion.
As of 30 November 2025:
- The U.S. federal tax code has not been overhauled using DOGE (Dogecoin) as any central mechanism, nor has Congress adopted a DOGE-based reform or flat tax tied to DOGE.
- The IRS and U.S. Treasury do not use DOGE as an official tax payment mechanism or as a structural tool for rewriting/simplifying the tax code; crypto usage for taxes remains limited to certain states/municipalities for payment, and is not structurally DOGE-centric or code-shrinking in the manner described.
- There has been no major legislative tax reform in 2024–2025 that meets the described condition of “using DOGE to shrink the tax code and create a flat tax.”
Because the triggering condition of the prediction has not occurred, we have no empirical basis to evaluate whether such a DOGE-driven tax-code simplification would in fact add 100–200 basis points to U.S. real GDP growth. It’s a counterfactual policy claim that remains untested, not a time-bound forecast whose outcome we can observe.
Therefore the correct classification is "ambiguous": the claim cannot be determined true or false given current reality, not because it’s too early, but because the scenario it depends on never happened.
