The problem with this prediction of doom is that there seems to be
several ways to calculate national debt and GDP (gross domestic
product).  Here's one calculation that claims the US is well past the
point where paying our debts is possible:
<https://www.usdebtclock.org>

It's not just the US, but also that most other countries are
over-extended:
<https://www.usdebtclock.org/world-debt-clock.html>
Which country will be the first to go under and which ones will remain
afloat the longest?

More interesting is who does the US owe money?
<https://www.pgpf.org/blog/2024/08/the-federal-government-has-borrowed-trillions-but-who-owns-all-that-debt>
2/3 of the US national debt is held by the Federal Reserve.  Is the
Federal Reserve going to foreclose on debts owed to themselves?
