As someone pointed out on another thread, since money is fungible, requiring profits to go to paying down the debt is mere meaningless window dressing. “We have $200 billion in profits to pay down the debt, so we’ll increase the budget deficit by $200 billion with more spending elsewhere.” Kinda how things get done in Washington.
