    Most countries ability to pay interest on their debt is judged by their debt/gdp ratio, their budget deficit, laws, political situation etc.

    The US debt/gdp is just over 100%. This is not great, but nonetheless they can pay interest on their debt and will be able to do so for quite a while yet while interest rates are low.

    Japan has a debt/gdp of 225% and is still afloat.
