Pretty much any country that got out of the Great Depression had used spending to get its way out of it. The problem lies not with government
per se, but with douchebags in the financial sector fucking things up. It would be nice if China forgoes some of the US' debt. If people grew the fuck up and really cared about the debt, there would be diplomatic talks with China to come up with an agreement on letting go of some of the obligations. But politics like the rest of society is run by small, mental children.
