Treasury bonds pay interest in dollars. It would be the lender who has the problem of convertibility not the US. Total non-problem.

Not if the new debt that the government generates in the future can't be sold in Treasury Bonds for that very reason. Hence, this reveals the long-term Achilles heel of the heedles borrowing and spending strategy.

Total non-problem.

We'll see, won't we?
