Public is blind to the price of debt

Re: “It’s no longer called debt — it’s called stimulus,” Chris Nelson, Opinion, Nov. 7.

Unfortunately, the populace doesn’t like to hear the truth, or the cold, ugly facts about the tsunami of debt that’ll wash over the world, leaving in its wake broken, crippled and hobbled economies.

Politicians are aware of this collective blindness.

So most politicians adopt the old Roman political adage: The people wish to be deceived, so deceive them. Jeffrey Anderson, Calgary
