Yes the US can. Besides the US can't afford to allow a war to be waged against it.As long as a war is being waged against the US the US will be unable to conduct business as usual.

Let me be more clear. The United States can only afford the military budget (both the stated, hidden and wars) if it is able to finance her own debt in her own currency, as an island of stability as a last resort. Because the government and people are broke. This system is coming apart at the seams.

Doesn't matter. Don't be surprised at a trillion $ deficit this year (more bailouts are coming) and the very likely trillion $ deficit next year.
