Doesn't matter, because the national debt is at or above 90% of the GDP now. Once this happens, the currency starts to fail. Consider currency as stock in the U.S. economy. If it fails, it probably will not matter how much you have, because at that point it will only be monopoly money.

This question is difficult to answer in that two ever changing variables are in play here. The GDP, Gross domestic production and debt are dependent on interest rates, business profits and trade balances. It also depends upon Congressional and Executive branch policies. Despite an overload of US national debt, the US remains a classic payer of its debt obligations when they are due. As an aside, the Peoples Republic of China has debt under control. The problem is this, their data may not exactly be "up to date" this is a sarcastic manner of saying it's subject to doubt. Further more, it begs a rhetorical question, would anyone in the US want to trade economies with China? Few would.
