The only way to make us debt-constrained is to invent some novel principle not based on standard economics (like the infamous 90 percent rule). The arithmetic says not to worry about debt if jobs are at stake 4/ — PolitiTweet.org

So the question should be, does adding to the debt for a stimulus endanger solvency? And the answer is, clearly not. We can stabilize the debt/GDP ratio while running a primary (non-interest) deficit; and the size of this stability deficit would *rise* with a higher debt ratio 3/ — PolitiTweet.org
