You have a strong political opinion, and an inflated sense of authority. That smells like youth, so I forgive you for it. I promise when you're older you'll look back and be embarrassed at claiming to be entitled to make authoritative economic claims.
Regardless, there are certainly economists with more than an undergraduate degree in economics who have held out Detroit as a warning for the US debt problem. Do you have more authority than Rachel Greszler who has a masters in Economics from Georgetown? I know, you'll disregard her because she works for an conservative group. Just be honest and acknowledge that this is about a political difference, not an authoritative truth.
