Pretending that major economies are going to pay back their debt in anything close to money with similar purchasing power is also fiction. At this point, let's repeal the personal income tax (to free the people) and print currency instead of the game of loaning it into existence. The debt ceiling charade is a distraction which causes economic disruption.

Most other nations would move to using other currencies since holding on the depreciating dollar would be a liability on top the liability it is already is proving to be. (sanctions happy freezing ,etc)
