Regarding 4, governments will probably not go bankrupt because almost every single nation is in massive debt relative to its GDP so almost all nations will be forced to print money.

In isolation, a single country printing its way out of debt would devalue its currency and cause inflation, but if all countries do it together there should be little relative change in their currency values, meaning nothing would actually change.

It's kind of hilarious to think the global debt "crisis" may amount to little more than nothing.
