The question is, how to kill off the substantial majority of the population without triggering a dangerous revolution? Particularly considering that so many of them are armed? Events will probably work themselves out in the usual messy way. Elements of the surplus population will be encouraged to turn against each other; right against left (or middle, since there isn’t much of a “left” in America), straights against gays, ethnicity against ethnicity, all of the classic “divide and conquer” techniques. Constant reduction in the social safety net will enhance that population reduction in two ways: first through “neglect” – that is, when there’s less food, shelter, and health care available, people will die – and secondly, through increased social pressure, i.e. when there are fewer resources available, competition for those resources will cause violence and hatred are certain to increase, with a corresponding increase in mortality.
