There are 4 ways to solve a global super power debt crisis:

Look around. It’s happened before:
1933: US defaults on gold standard, issues executive order 6102 to confiscate gold (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Executive_Order_6102)
1944: US only currency backed by gold, all others pegged to dollar (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bretton_Woods_system)
Look around again: it’s happening now too!
