I think you are missing something.  As a percentage of GDP, our national debt has been higher than this before.  And guess what happened in the years following that massive deficit spending?  The U.S. emerged as the strongest economic power in the world. Thus, the assumption that massive government spending will lead to bankruptcy can be refuted by historical evidence in this country.

So are you planning on physically destroying all of Europe's (and most of Asia's) manufacturing sector in otder to ensure that the next 25 years of rebuilding them will be done using American manufactured goods and equipment?
