Huge companies can go bankrupt. I can tolerate "creative destruction".
Governments will go very far out of their way to spread the pain before they go bankrupt. The Flint, Michigan "lead in the water supply" problem was downstream of the city's (and region's) economic collapse and bankruptcy. Detroit's current residents are very much overpaying for their utilities and other city services because of their existing long-term obligations.
I would much prefer we change government to be much more iterative and create contracts which ensure quality outcomes (not optimized for "butts in seats"), even if that means there is more total cost.
