Hello Z,

"debt is a cash flow statement, deficit is profit and loss statement" that is a helpful approach in differentiating the two.

IMHO the reason United States fiscal policy is healthy has much to do with revenues from capital gains; capital gains contributed by inflated equity markets. Excuse my skepticism, but I don't cede the government with any integrity in stating the numbers.

As for the shortage of US treasuries; isn't this the result of being a reserve currency? The jury is out on this issue until the Euro is established, so the US treasury has a few quarters to lessen our dependence on foreign buyers.

best, art
