Summary

The "333 plan" is an economic strategy championed by Scott Bessent, intended to position the United States as the leader in the global AI arms race against China. This comprehensive plan sets ambitious targets: achieving 3% annual GDP growth, reducing the budget deficit to 3% of GDP by 2028, and increasing domestic energy production by 3 million barrels of oil equivalent per day. At its core, the plan aims to spark a massive capital expenditure boom, driven by hyperscalers building AI factories, which is anticipated to evolve into a widespread productivity boom. To achieve these goals, it proposes aggressive policy tools including tariffs to encourage onshoring, a "one big beautiful bill" featuring 100% immediate expensing for domestic construction, and critical permitting reform to address bureaucratic delays, exemplified by TSMC's challenges in Arizona. The plan also introduces the "Genius Act" to boost demand for U.S. debt through stablecoins and criticizes the Federal Reserve's approach to inflation. On the international front, it advocates a transactional trade approach, including a significant U.S.-Japan trade deal where Japan funds strategic American projects, and an "above the line/below the line" policy for China that separates strategic technologies from general commerce. Additionally, it envisions "AI Economic Zones" for trusted partners and mandates the divestiture of TikTok to American owners.
