it would be the bank's problem if burgerland stopped borrowing money. Instead they keep going because they can't fund themselves. I wonder what could happen if nobody lent them any more money.
Then the US defaults, the dollar craters, and the trillions european countriesbhave invested are instantly worthless. Gone. Disappeared.
At a certain level, economics are just about good will.
If the whole world sees that the US don't want to pay, on mutual accord, we can decide that they don't owe anything to anyone, effectively cancelling the debt.
After that, the US will remain out of the rest of the world without the possibility of borrowing any money at all.
it takes two to tango, both parties willingly participated in this exchange
Yes, because until not long ago, the US were a country with shit stuff but somewhat reliable.
If you remove the reliability from the equation, one of the parties will most probably stop lending money to the other.
