The Absurd Debt Fetish

Jonathan Chait, The New Republic
Despite my enthusiasm for the latest debt commission plan, I should say that I continue to be puzzled by the Washington establishment's belief that the deficit constitutes the gravest crisis to the Republic. Check out Fareed Zakaria's latest column:In the first paragraph, Zakaria asserts that the fate of the U.S. will be decided within a year. In the next paragraph, he warns that without proper action, we will experience catastrophe in ... 2040. Dos that sound like the kind of problem we really have to tackle in the next year or never?
