Maybe there's another way. I think Trump is angling to shrink gov't right now. Tariffs & revenue from energy production on one side & tax cuts on the other side. The idea of an External Revenue Service to fund a much smaller gov't makes sense. The debt, well, with a booming growing dynamic economy, I see paying it off as it comes due. Who knows, we may as a country have enough Bitcoin to pay it off fairly quickly. Then there's DOGE. How much fraud was/is there? That debt may not even be owed by the taxpayer if it was money criminally looted from the taxpayer.
