Debate on national debt and inflation risks
An essay by C. Lowell Harris in Tax Foundation's Tax Review argues the national debt differs from private debt, since the Treasury does not fund productive assets. It warns that debt ceilings are imperfect but useful, and explains noninflationary borrowing requires capital-market funding and restraint by the Federal Reserve to prevent inflationary credit expansion. The piece notes ongoing balance-of-payments strains may hasten the reckoning.
