I don't think they could get the necessary spending cuts through congress.

Highly unlikely.

Bet on inflation.

Trump wanted more CoVID stimulus than Congress would pass. He also wanted lower interest rates (=> inflation=> higher rates=> more expensive debt service). Trumps positions on entitlements are… no changes.

The only thing Vivek has proposed is cutting government employees. But if you put discretionary spending to $0, you aren’t retiring a debt at all.

The OP is right. Our date is sealed. It was sealed in 2011-2012. Now it’s just a question of how we manage the collapse.

He had the chance before, and did the polar opposite, printing 7.8 trillion and asking for more. His business history is built on debt.

JFC. Trump doesn't even have the balls to address the debt/deficit issue on the campaign trail. He says nothing.
