Most people think reducing the federal budget deficit is a good thing. Makes sense, right? I mean, if I’m broke & have bills, that’s bad! But there’s a problem: The analogy between my finances and those of a currency-issuing government is false. Wrong. Illogical. So why do so many people keep getting it wrong? Turns out, they’ve been misled—by economists! 1/3
