    Nah, as long as the dollar is the world's reserve currency and the government is a net positive for the bank accounts of the world's billionaires and multinational corporations, it'll be held up as per the "too big to fail" policy no matter the amount of debt.

    The moment that either or both of those things stop being true (which used to be beyond impossible, but now could be just a year or two away), it could make 1930 seem like a boom year in comparison.
