Should the government make cuts to public spending in order to reduce the national debt?
Yes, but by drastically reducing the benefits and salaries of government officials
Cutting the pay and benefits of government officials might seem like a good way to save money, but it wouldn’t actually make a big difference in the overall budget. Their salaries are just a small part of what the government spends. Also, if the pay is too low, it could be hard to find smart and experienced people who want to work in government. This could lead to poor decisions or mistakes that cost even more money.
