Driving straight into a tree we could easily avoid

[Arcangl86]

So how do we avoid the tree? Cut costs, use the people we have, think Real World.

COSTS
1. Eliminate waste in the healthcare system and save 2 trillion dollars a year right now, reduced to 1.5 Trillion after we cover everyone not covered and allow for more COVID cases. Save 1.5 Trillion/year

Most health care costs in the US are private expenditures right now, not government spending. While a single-payer system will likely reduce the total amount of money we spend on health care, it would also vastly increase the amount of government spending on it. I don't neccesary think that's a bad thing, but it would make the debt issue worst, not better.

2. End our pointless wars and don't start anymore, not even cold wars. Interest alone on the war debts is likely to average out around 1/3 Trillion/ year.

I agree that the defense department can be seriously trimmed down. A few years ago NATO agreed that every nation would spend at least 2% of their GDP on the military. If the US were to go to that level we would cut our defense budget by half. As for interest on the war debt, that's not accurate. The current interest on our entire debt portfolio is around 378 billion. So you are close or even a bit under on how much we spend on interest, but the debt is from many sources.

PEOPLE
3. Follow Andrew Yang's recommendation of 1,000 dollars per month to each US resident. That's less expensive and more effective than handing out millions to rich people in the hope they just might keep on a few extra staff, maybe.

Your solution to getting out of debt is to adopt a program that will cost us almost $4 Trillion a year?

REAL WORLD
4. Stop assuming everyone in the world hates us, or are jealous of us (who are we kidding?) or are jealous of our freedoms; that is really weird like the way we got drafted and hauled off to Vietnam to get shot up, that's was one of our unique freedoms.

I'm confused. What does this have to do with the debt?
