It will take a lot of those microscopic wastes to wipe out the debt. The main ones are Health and Social Security, Unemployment. Which it's tough to reduce by cutting the amounts. without seeing riots on the streets.
How many of the large spends are also operated as if money grew on trees? In the UK, the attempts to introduce IT has ended in disaster and costs billions. Because the people in charge are simply out of their depth.
