Those voting in favour have been a small proportion: <USA electorate has chosen None of the Above in all elections in the century....more than 51% said Neither, by way of abstaining.> For example, 66% voted in the Obama election. About 35% voted for him. So that's only 1 in 3. Many of those voted for him because he has good melanin levels in his skin, which apparently got a lot of people excited. Perhaps some voted for him because he would spend a lot of opm but the number must have been only about 1 in 6 of possible voters. So his vast spending, in cahoots with Congress, wasn't really supported by more than a small minority of the electorate if judged by actual voting. But hordes don't vote because it's a waste of time as their votes will have zero effect on the outcome, so perhaps more than 15% wanted big borrow and spend. Even if hordes did want the borrowing and spending, they still have the sovereign right to decline to repay the loans and to tell their creditors to get lost. Without a supranational loan enforcement agency, there isn't anything the creditors could do about a default. Mqurice
