That's what it's like when I write.

That is the first time in this series that I've gone from correlation to causation. And even though I've known for thirty years that debt is the problem, the move still bothers me. Because while it's obvious to me that debt is the problem, it's apparently not obvious to most people.

"Literally"

From On the Mechanics of Economic Development by Robert E. Lucas, Jr:

"The diversity across countries in measured per capita income levels is literally too great to be believed."

So Lucas is saying: Yeah, we measure per capita income levels, and we get results, but our results must be no good because we cannot believe -- we literally cannot believe -- those results are right.

I literally do not believe this is what Mr. Lucas meant to say.
