CJ, > Yes, there is some risk there. But it is a different kind than what the financial institutions engaged in.

Does that mean when it comes to the federal debt, there really is a free lunch?

If not, I don't see how exchanging one kind of risk for another is going to help. The effects on the economy will still be a net negative. Keynesian theory is breaking down as we speak.
