It is starting?

I have been thinking for months that Barack Obama will be a debt President (particularly if he gets a second term). By a debt president, I mean a president whose term is dominated by discussion of how to deal with the debt and interest payments. Not Iraq, not Afghanistan, not banks, not green energy, not health care, but debt (i.e., how to pay for Iraq, Afghanistan, the bailing out of every bank and its cousin, health care—green energy will never be a big item).

Maybe the fact that the NY Times put the topic on the front page is a sign that this discussion is moving to the fore. I predict it will becoming dominant in a couple of years.
