The disagreement collapses on inspection of time horizon. Lips's GAO reform pack

The disagreement collapses on inspection of time horizon. Lips's GAO reform package operates on the 5-10 year audit-attention margin and shapes congressional decision-making at the bill-design stage. PAYGO restoration operates on the 20+ year structural margin and shapes legislative arithmetic at the floor-vote stage. They address different bottlenecks in the same pipeline; treating them as substitutes is the category error.
