Why can’t a government forgive it’s own internal debt?
In: 2
The government owes that debt to investors. It’s mostly owned by institutional investors like mutual funds, retirement pensions, university endowments… so what happens to peoples’ investments, retirement, higher education, etc. if they suddenly lose trillions of dollars? And if the government ever needs to borrow money again in the future? Who is going to trust them…
