First, the debt-to-GDP ratio is a misleading statistic. Many commentators tell us that ratios below 100% are safe, and note that we survived a 140% debt-to-GDP ratio at the end of World War II. But there is no safe debt-to-GDP ratio. There is only a "safe" ratio between a country's debt and its ability to pay off that debt. ................
