I think the catalyst will begin with foreign creditors moving out of the auctions. I don’t really know what triggers that and have given up trying to prognosticate on it. It could be when our debt service to gdp ratio hits some trigger point. It could be a geopolitical conflict… It could be a certain low that the dollar hits…
I never really thought that we could fool the world this long. However as pr and even brian have pointed out, there are not many alternatives out there.
There will be someday though.

Lets not forget, some of it is already slowly playing out. Look at prices of food/water/utilities over the past few years.
