✒ FROM THE EDITORIAL DESK
The trouble with declaring yourself the best credit in the world is that credit is a thing other people decide about you, which is precisely why it counts. A deficit is not a loss any more than a grocery bill is a mugging; you got the groceries. And note the escape hatch built into the arithmetic — a trillion and a half a year we would make by not trading, an unfalsifiable windfall from transactions that will never occur, audited by no one. The all-caps closing order, addressed to an institution designed specifically not to take orders, is less economic policy than a man shouting at a thermostat he does not own.
