2 prediction markets price this story:

• At least 250 billion — the market puts it at 6%, with $11 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 31 Mar 2029. The outcome is Yes if government spending drops by at least $250 billion compared to the fourth quarter of 2024 in any single quarter through the end of 2028. The outcome is No if this specific drop never occurs within that timeframe. Readers often mistake the deadline for the end of the calendar year rather than the end of 2028, or they look at total annual deficits instead of quarterly spending levels.
• At least 500 billion — the market puts it at 1%, closing 31 Mar 2027. The outcome is Yes if total government spending drops by at least $500 billion between October 1, 2024, and September 30, 2026. The outcome is No if that specific decrease does not occur within this three-year window. Readers often mistake the linked news story about ACA refunds for the actual spending data required for resolution.
