    By a lot! It would also cut every overdrawn bank account by half :)

    Unfortunately it’s just “bank balance”, so actual debts outside of that wouldn’t be touched.

        Can’t have the common folk benefiting after all, that would be ludicrous.

  That’s just a fancy way of saying “cut in half”.
