This is the problem, you left it too late. You now spend $1T a year in interest payments al;one!
If you were a citizen comparatively, you would be advised to just claim bankruptcy and wipe the debt clean, start over. Almost certainly this would be the best advice.
You've had corruption and crooks for decades and your own agencies have watched it unfold. Media cheered the $50M jets while China was using A.I to mass produce thousands of intelligent drones for the same cost.
When I was teaching myself A.I I knew immediately the military applications of image identification for warfare. Cheap, frighteningly effective drones have surpassed the use of jets for speed on the battlefield. They don't replace the jet entirely, but they will increasingly be employed.
