Last time US sovereign debt was at this height vs GDP was after WW2. It really took until the early 80's (35 years) before that ratio bottomed out, and that required a structural change in ditching the gold standard along with a decade of stagflation in the 70's.

Wonder whether U.S inflation was more created or helped along in the 80's??

Be interesting to see how the Japan carry trade plays out regarding U.S bonds after borrowing for years at low Japan rates and pumping it into U.S markets.
