Funny thing.Mueller and his staff and the Federal Judiciary and Congress and their staffs are exempt from the government shutdown. The legislative and judicial branches are co-equal to the executive branch so Trump has no power to shut them downThe Special Counsel statute is set up to have an independent financing structure to preclude using the Federal budget process to obstruct its work.

It will never happen. And I don’t mean that sarcastically or acrimoniously, I mean it will actually never happen. Not in 20 years, or any years. The debt will continue to grow indefinitely.To eliminate debt, you have to approach every financial decision with a debt-free mindset. You have to look at every desired expenditure and say “This is what I want to do, and this is how much I have in the bank. Can I afford to do it?” - and if the answer is no, you don’t do it.Government will never do this. They can’t do this. They’re always going to commit future dollars they haven’t collected yet to the things they want to do today. Their budgeting process has never been “We have $2 trillion in the bank, so we can afford to spend $300 billion on this and $500 billion on that”. Their budgeting process is more like “We have $0 in the bank, but we definitely need to spend $300 billion on X, so we’ll just finagle some things around to make sure we can pay for it at some point in the next decade” - then they whip out a giant Mastercard and ring it up.In order to get out of debt, you first have to stop racking up more debt. That means they would first have to balance the budget - based on actual income, not projected income - along with a surplus allocation toward debt repayment. Then they would have to actually stick with that budget, without over-spending, and without dipping into the surplus allocation.This has never happened. And it never will. Even when Bill Clinton “balanced the budget” on paper, it never actually materialized - the so-called “Clinton Surplus” was just a projected surplus, it wasn’t real dollars in the bank. The national debt still rose every year, even though the budget was “balanced” on paper.You can’t eliminate debt if you’re still running a deficit. Math just doesn’t work that way.So no, the national debt will never be paid off, will continue to increase indefinitely, and the government will just continue to authorize the treasury to keep creating more money to bail themselves out. Twenty years from now when the national debt is $100 trillion, we’ll be having the same conversation, reminiscing about the good old days when it was “only” $20 trillion.Since the question was “What would it take”, here’s the answer: the government would need to free up cash. The only way they can do that is by terminating non-essential programs, cutting essential ones, and swearing off the creation of new ones. Want a government healthcare program? Too bad, it’s not in the budget. Want a new missile defense system and a fleet of drones? Too bad, it’s not in the budget. Think your school is under-funded? Tough. You’re getting $25% less this year. Figure out how to make it work.That’s what it would take. We would have to make drastic cuts across the board and spend 25% less than we currently spend, every year for the next 20 years. And that will never happen.
