That is, taxpayers owe interest to bondholders. This can create some problems, but it doesn't reduce the future income of society as a whole. So running budget deficits is nothing at all like emitting greenhouse gases 5/ — PolitiTweet.org

It's not just that with interest rates below growth rates, debt won't snowball. Also, public debt is NOT borrowing from the future. Unless it displaces investment — which there's no sign it's doing — it just creates claims by one part of the population on another part 4/ — PolitiTweet.org

Emissions will stay in the atmosphere for generations, raising global temperatures all the while. So every year we fail to act really does damage our future, perhaps irrevocably. It takes willful misunderstanding not to get the difference between that and deficits 6/ — PolitiTweet.org
