Im not an economics expert but what if we had austerity and high taxes for 2 or 3 years to pay some of our debts back to China and Japan, so afterwards we wouldn’t pay so much in interest every year and could instead use that money? Is that a bad idea?

Actually tax the rich and corporations and we'd be fine

they tried that in the UK and the rich fled the country. as much as we want to tax the rich a fair share, they’ll just pack their bags and move to dubai or singapore.
