IF spending were cut accordingly, absolutely.

This is called Modern Monetary Theory regardless of how often you pretend it doesnt exist.

Modern monetary theory or modern money theory (MMT) is a heterodox[1] macroeconomic theory that describes currency as a public monopoly and unemployment as evidence that a currency monopolist is overly restricting the supply of the financial assets needed to pay taxes and satisfy savings desires.[2][3] According to MMT, governments do not need to worry about accumulating debt in and of itself since they create new money by using fiscal policy in order to pay interest. MMT argues that the primary risk once the economy reaches full employment is inflation, which acts as the only constraint on spending. MMT also argues that inflation can be addressed by increasing taxes across the economy to reduce the spending capacity of the private sector.[4][5]

Bonds, why has inflation risen so dramatically? Just the basic answer.
