That would probably fix it, but there is another answer. That solution is coming in the form of a bankruptcy. At that point everything will be cut back to the minimum where it should be.
God knows what kind of chaos will ensue when that happens. I don't see how it can be avoided.

You must be kidding — everything will be cut back for you and me but not for Congress.
And to lessen their pain, they will vote themselves a substantial pay raise and more perks.
I see that you make a poor congresscritter — you are too pragmatic.
.......I have had the tag of “it’s the debt bomb stupid” for years because of exactly what you say! This debt will blow up and going through that PROCESS is the only thing that “CAN” save us.
Given the welfare state the democrats have now built up, it’s just a matter of how much blood gets spilled because when those EBT cards stop getting accepted all hell is going to break loose. The government knows that and that is why they have been arming up. They literally are worried about their sorry asses and their families.
