Not really.
The truth about Debt is that it can be kicked down the road pretty much forever. Unless it's personal debt. Then you'll get Repo'ed.
National debt has only grown, and is showing no signs of slowing down. Don't forget that there will be more crises down the line.
And there will always be a future to kick it down to.
No it can't be perpetually pushed downwards. Eventually, people will lose faith in the US economy and currency, which will cause investors to withdraw their capital, resulting in hyperinflation.
Won't happen until the USD is no longer the world reserve. And nukes will be dropped before that happens.
