Your entire wall of text has conveniently and completely omitted the hard fact that the U.S. Treasury has borrowed to pay for its defense (oops, sorry, I meant "war") budget for many, many years now. The war budget (~$850B) has been larger than the deficit in many years.

No other nation except the U.S. can sustain this without running into hyperinflation and consequent national rioting.
