Depends on what you mean by 'broke'. If you mean 'cant pay their debts', then no - they're not broke. As another poster in this thread has said, they can always pay their obligations since their obligations are denominated in the currency they control.
However, if 'broke' means being unable to service their debts without resorting to the monetisation of debt issued by US Treasury by the Fed, then, Yes, the US is flat-on-its-arse broke.
