4. Maybe if the US shrinks its war dept enough, some stupid country could
take over our debt by invading us. At least maybe a chance to free up the grandchildren from debt slavery already imposed.

Don't think there would be any takers, so why continue to spend so much on the military to help business empires when there really is little threat? Interpol could handle the extremist violence.

We'd be way better off spending our debt money on sustainable and friendly-peaceful endeavors. Or way ahead not to borrow it in the first place. Pay as you go is the sensible ticket.
