Just to make sure: for something to be "revenue neutral" means it can't contain a real reduction in tax revenue offset by a hypothetical gain through "dynamic effects" in the economy?

That would seem to be table stakes for baseline discussion.

As a counterpoint, one could set the tax rate arbitrarily low and then carefully craft a dynamic function that achieves revenue neutrality based on that plan.

Secretary Mnuchin said that the plan is only revenue neutral if you used dynamic scoring
That's the plan though.
