"econ wont crash. they can pay int on debt. they jsut wont be able to afford the hookers and dinner afterwards"
Paying interest on the debt is great but what about the rest of the economy? Think about all the programs the government funds and what happens if you instantly cut that by 40%.
Social security checks, unemployment benefits, Medicare, tax refunds not going out. Millions of people who work for the government would be going unpaid through no fault of their own.
If you want to provoke mass chaos and some kind of radical far right transformation of society then it makes sense, otherwise not so much
