US debt as a percentage of GDP is lower today than it was a decade ago. I believe it's about 65% and that it was mid 70's sometime in the middle of the last decade.
I don't view the dollar as falling. I view it as returning to normal, back where it was about 4 years ago.
I'm not a believer in the gold standard.
Will there ultimately be a collapse? Maybe that depends on the definition of "collapse". If the current decade or so long trend continues of debt as a percentage of GDP decreasing, I think it not likely.
