I remember Trump laying out his "financial plans" before he got elected. He said he did not care about the deficit because the US could just "default" (not pay its debts). He had good experience with that in his own business. Just make sure your debt is as big a problem to the parties that lent you the money than it is to you (they will be unwilling to write off the loan and rather keep it in the books as an asset than book it as a loss). This seems to be working for decades now, not just for the. US. and Trump's personal business. I figured this would break money as something that represents value but apparently I do not fully understand how this works.
