The last ~40% is held by US individuals and institutions. As individuals die, right off the debt.....no passing to next generation. For institutions, write off 10% per year.

Flush the toilet.

Sure can do but nobody will buy any new debt ever and our credit rating will be in the toilet and interest rates will climb higher for is being a deadbeat borrower.
