Hi Brad,
Regarding the Twitter quote about stimulating the economy by paying off personal debt: Were you serious? I am not an economist, but Krugman and others say our immediate economic problem is shortage of demand. They point out that the recent increase in U.S. government debt just replaces a simultaneous reduction in other intra-U.S. debt. The paradox is that paying down debt tends to impede economic recovery at this time.
