The US Debt to GDP% ratio can be fixed in a few ways:

1) Revalue selective assets on the USA balance sheet higher: 8,000 tonnes of gold is currently valued at $34 USD an once. This could be revalued to $10,000 USD and once. 

2) Massive production miracle to boost GDP from some new technology.

3) Cut spending and pay back the debt. Very hard politically and a worldwide depression may result.

4) Inflate prices higher while debt stays the same (just like Israel did after several wars). Most likely!

Short Answer: Higher inflation and suppressed interest rates are coming to the USA very soon, to simply deflate the debt away. 

Currently, USA debt to GDP% is around 122%. This can still go to +150% before Congress deals with the debt. There may be an election issue in 2028, as the interest expense costs become too much to bear.
