US Debt Is Manageable Given Dollar Dominance
US debt is not a near-term geopolitical danger because Japan runs over 500% of GDP and survives without reserve-currency status, ~3% long-term US growth makes the first ~$800-850 billion of new debt effectively free as a share of the economy, and with no challenger to the dollar (the euro, pound, yen and yuan each disqualified), US debt-driven dollar weakness actually hurts demographically-declining rivals more and makes America more competitive.

“there is no hint of any challenge to the us dollar as the global currency and as long as that is the case anything that we do that is debt driven actually hurts most of the rest of the world more than everybody else”
