the performance of gold stocks, page-27

Every countries have got debts. Even the private debts in China is around US $12 Trillion.

So I guess, the US Gov debts at US $18 Trillion is not a real concern.. As long as the USD to retain its international currency status.

I think the key issue here is the Fred cannot print the USD quick enough to cover the Gov spending at the near zero interest rate

So may be the US QE4 might not be out of the question after all...
