did they leave the headlines? I’m pretty sure they’ve been there the whole time.

also, never forget that the “national solvency” concept is itself a product of austerity politics. if the US government wants to keep social programs funded, it can do so with no negative consequences, even if taxes don’t go up.

Taxes should go up during inflation though. Haven't they always said that puts the breaks on an economy. But no we get interest rate increases instead.
