    That’s actually the plan circulating around conservative circles now.

    But they’re saying they can ‘selectively default’ debt issued to China as part of a trade rebalancing scheme, basically they charge China $2T in back tariffs and cancel that much in chinese held debt.

    By canceling that much debt they can have the cbo mark their tax cut as balanced.

    Nobody with a brain cell has explained to them why this is insane.
