Ever since Nixon killed convertibility of gold [1971] there have been no checks on fiscal deficits. Countries could spend at will and did. Total dollar credit is now over $90 trillion and US national debt is close to $31 trillion. There are no constraints on debt or deficit spending anywhere.

Nobody knows.
