1. he personally can't pay it
2. he personally can't order "goldman sachs" to write off the debt.
3. a lot of the bondholders are actually retirees, etc., not "banks"
4. puerto rico can't declare bankruptcy
5. he can't personally order the treasury to pay the debt

there are also PRACTICAL REASONS, namely
1. he can't get shit done

makes for quality demagogy/demagoguery though
