I think this is a good analogy, because the national debt is not a good measure of anything. People bring it up at all the wrong times, and takes grandstanding postures around it. Just like this, eh?
- astrange 6y agoAt least there might be a reason to care about privacy, but there actually isn't a reason to care about the national debt. There's no evidence the model of it being debt means anything - it certainly isn't household debt when it's in a currency you can just print more of. And even under the model where printing money causes inflation, we're in a negative interest rate regime meaning printing money would cause /deflation/.
