rest of the world couldn't do much about it. There's no alternative to the US Economy or USD.

China is still a long ways away and will prob never catch up

The alternative is we become irrelevant. All the US economy is good for is buying shit and we’re a significantly smaller fraction of global consumption than 40 years ago

its not going to drop much, prob will hover around 25% forever

1990s to early 2000s: The U.S. share of global GDP (and corresponding consumption) was at a high point, peaking in the mid-1980s and remaining near 28–30% through 2005.

Post-2008 Financial Crisis: Following the global financial crisis, the U.S. share of the global economy dipped to roughly 23% by 2010.

2010 to 2026: The share has since stabilized, hovering around 24–26% of global GDP while maintaining a slightly higher 30% share of specifically "global consumer expenditure" as of 2023–2026.

now do british and spanish.

the reason rome took so long to completely fall is because the competition wasnt as centralized. but it was fallING for hundreds of years. what was the height, 200 AD? and they were going up against barbarians and 99% of the people in the empire had no conception of shit like state debt and monetary policy.

i guess we'll see how long the US hegemony can exist purely because it's the default. probably our entire lifetime, so youre right it probably wont matter to us. but we're in 300 AD rome where shits getting worse and worse but we exist because theres no alternative. that has never lasted forever.

and did the roman empire extend to britain?

im not sure what you're even implying. that the american empire is eternal because it's the child of the british empire? that the british empire never fell because america is the successor? that theres something unique about anglo empires, even though the british did fall?

That’s not the first thing that would happen. The first thing is a Failed Auction bc no one wants to buy treasuries. Then the government would have No Money to spend and would need to cut the budget imo.

The trillion dollar coin had nothing to do with world bond markets. That was a silly loophole to get around the debt ceiling requirement under the Constitution/federal law.

The trillion-dollar coin is a 2011-era, largely theoretical proposal to mint a high-value platinum coin, deposit it at the Federal Reserve, and use the proceeds to pay bond interest and government bills, bypassing congressional debt ceiling deadlocks

Congress has the power to Coin Money. That’s not really a loophole. Also, they can Declare War and levy Tariffs.
