While clowns act at stage in Congress...

Q. How worried are you that one morning the bond market has moved against the United States?

A. It’s virtually assured, the question is when and how. I don't know if it will be two years of five years but it will happen. It is a matter of time, the United States can’t borrow indefinitely. Over hundred years bankruptcies of country after country who thought they could get away with it because they had the reserve currency and the military power of the world. We are going to have fiscal discipline. It’s imposed upon us or we do the right thing and do it to ourselves the right way.... America knows the way, it doesn't have the will.

Speaking about the ways, ZH people from link above (and majority of 'theorists' on the topic in fact) never really come up with anything new aside from two basic scenarios and their multiple variations -- hyperinflation and devaluation. Both are bad, the former is better than the other though.
