My "Federal Debt is NOT the Problem" post is finally starting to work for me. The writing is coming along now. I'm at the "Timing is Everything" part, and interrupt myself to make this note.
Here's how that section starts right now:
Okay, so government debt is low, compared to private debt. You can still say paying down the federal debt will fix the economy. But I don't think that's true. I think it is private debt that is holding the economy down.
Gently, I hope, I introduce the idea that I want to talk about.
I have a tendency not to do that. Usually I want to throw the facts at you so they hit you like they hit me. And at the end of that session, I expect you to reach the same conclusion I reach. For me, I don't reach a conclusion until the thing is inescapable. There is no other option. I reach a conclusion only because I must.
But writing it that way doesn't work very well. People don't know where you're going. You need to tell'em where you're going, first. I think so.
