Some modalities for restructuring are costlier than others, but they all require huge public resources, raising a serious problem of fiscal sustainability. Yet, those are not the economic problems that Gus Dur is focusing on. Macroeconomics is an abstract construct. It is only felt when inflation, i.e. the increase in the general price level, gets out of control and begins to affect the purse of housewives. The intricacies of monetary policy are perhaps very boring to Gus Dur.
Fiscal policy is equally boring.
If revenues are reduced or increased then expenditures should be reduced or increased accordingly. That is only logical. I have talked to many people about Gus Dur's lack of interest in and understanding of monetary and fiscal policies. There is unanimity in their response. Yes, why should he bother about trying to understand monetary and fiscal policies.
