What will happen if the United States takes no action the national debt?

First off, understand the U.S debt is to Treasury bond holders. They do not borrow directly from China or anyone else http://www.treasurydirect.gov/kids/what/what_borro...

Second, China does not hold much more of the securities debt than Japan. And in fact, China has buying fewer bonds, while other governments have been buying more. http://www.treasury.gov/resource-center/data-chart...

Third, the debt will only go as high as investors are willing to hold in debt. They (Treasury) can issue as much debt as they want, but unless they attract buyers, it has the same effect as if you wanted a loan, and nobody would lend it.

Well we definitely wouldn't go to war with China because we are both good trading partners. Now though it's hard to believe America still outproduces China and any other country in the world by a good deal. Now remember we are much more militarily advanced then China ( I mean they just got their first air craft carrier and even then it's just some old USSR dingy.) So we can just say screw it were not paying then we might get into a conflict Which we would eventually win. The only problem is when you shoot one Chinese soldier 10 more spring up.

The hugh debt of the US is a sign of a country living beyond its means. China has its own problems and won't be taking over the country anytime soon. Cities like Detroit can no longer afford to pay for street lights. Whats next - Fire Stations only operating week days? electricity being switched off at the power stations at 10pm every night? thousands of public servants including Police being layed off? US Defence force shutting down for the Christmas break? Perhaps we should look to failed states like Afghanistan, Pakistan and Somalia to get a picture of the future.

Default, hyperinflation or a combination of both. WW3 will come before china "owns" America.

The plan is to deflate the debt away by devaluing the dollar over a medium to long period.

The ultimate result is a global currency and global debt slavery to the banksters.

Blah blah blah. **** happens. Live in the present. The worst case scenario is you die. Oh and that's gonna happen no matter what.
