Ah, so you are arguing that it is feasible the US will keep paying all the interest payments on its debt? If so I misunderstood. I thought you were arguing that the US debt levels might drop at some point.

Fair enough. I don't think it will play out that way, but do admit it is still arguably possible.

The US debt load will continue to grow until such point as it gets inflated away during a bout of hyperinflation or the US defaults.

There's really no other realistic option.
