Some special interest groups, such as the Concord Coalition, owe their entire existence to this emotional topic. They are all misleading us. This website is my attempt to show why the topic of deficits and debt is the wrong debate. The proper debate would focus on economic growth , not deficits and debt. Debt is harmless, even desirable, if it is successfully employed to achieve growth.
Growth is our neglected ally.
States don't use it, corporations don't use it, individual citizens don't use it, county and city governments don't use it. Only the feds use it. Good investments generate benefits into the future. My new car gets me to work for several years. A new school helps to educate our kids year after year.
