An interesting comment Marc Faber makes is when he compares how the U.S. government is paying it’s debts by essentially running a Ponzi scheme. Basically, at current levels, the U.S. government could barely pay the interest on bonds it had previously issued. It is currently paying the interest by continuing to issue new bonds. But, at one point the interest payments will be so high that newly issued bonds will be worthless.
