I don't think that's an accurate analogy.

It's like if I stop commuting by car to work every day and rent a helicopter. I'm going to save a ton of money by selling the car and not buying gasoline. Of course I spent a ton of money with the helicopter method but we're not going to list _new_ expenses on the website are we?

The US spends twice what it collects in taxes, and has been doing so for so long that its ability to service its debts is mathematically jeopardized.

Spending massively more than you make is just fine, until the repo man shows up.

Sounds like maybe we should also increase revenues instead of also cutting those then, right?
