Remarks on a Proposal to Lower National Debt Interest
A critique of a Daily Journal proposal to reduce redeemable debt interest to 3 percent. It argues the plan harms 4 percent annuitants, forces choice under pressure, questions government payment duties, and warns about effects on posterity and credit. It compares the deal to a mortgage where lenders are pressured to accept lower interest. The author urges fair options for creditors and notes potential inequities and risks.
