So cancel dollars? Or is that debt ok because it's an "IOU nothing"?
Everything comes back to flows, and debt is simply a symptom of a political system unwilling or unable to balance their books. If you start "cancelling" debt, first of all you just cancelled the Federal Reserve so you cancelled yourself. Second of all, you just stole a bunch of money from a bunch of people some of whom may have a standing army ready to ask for it back. Third, you just required yourself to do the budget-balancing you refused or were unwilling to do that got you in this mess in the first place-- because no one will lend to you ever again. Fourth, where does the cancelling end? Social Security? Medicare? Government pensions? No, "just cancel the debts" is not a solution.
