That's going to happen anyway if federal government keeps creating more debt at its current pace. Debt servicing last year was ~23% of revenues and with the current rate of spending and continued interest rates, there's no reason to not expect that to increase for 2024 (this, of course, becomes an even larger issue if tax revenues fall again).

100% correct. But they will postpone it as long as they can.

And on the 8th day the Lord spoke on fiat currencies in democracies: thou shalt kicketh the can until thy run out of road. Then thy shall kicketh once more.

And so it is written.
