Some ideas about lowering #USdebt from @pluralistic that add up to:

"$1.4215t/year without even breaking a sweat, just by tacking (some of) the country's worst looting and tax evasion." "There's plenty of scenarios where interest payments result in the remaining $580b/year in savings, bringing the total up to $2t." "Now, sucking $2t/year out of the US economy all at once..." would hurt the economy, so best to phase cuts in over time.
