Only when the social contract is violated will there be revolt. That contract, roughly 75 years old now, is currently on death notice, being funded solely by a printing press. Simply put, the promises can never be met.
If interest rates on US debt were just a mere 5% (reasonable given the risk), the $800+ billion per year in interest would instantly 'bankrupt' the government (whether that default occurs directly or via inflation). If one understands much about economics, one understands this outcome is inevitable, and likely sooner than later. Cheap debt binged and not repaid, becomes an expensive anchor around the neck eventually.
