Well, it is. It's more than $36 trillion in debt, which can never be paid back in full - it can only be defaulted on, or inflated away. It's like $300k per taxpayer, which exceeds the median annual income.

The government is hopelessly bloated and needs to be trimmed down - by a lot. So, what Trump is trying to do is a good idea in principle. But with him being stupid and incompetent, he's doing it badly, firing staff that actually does useful things, and causing more harm than good.
