Business cycle theory 101. The market will eventually turn around. But the question is whether you want the government to pick how it grows or you.

This is a bit off topic, but I never liked the term “sovereign debt.” The people are supposed to be sovereign, at least in more modern states. I realize they aren’t actually—otherwise there’d ne no such crime as treason—but we pretend they are. You can argue that since the people run the government via elections at least to a certain extent they are ultimately responsible. Really, though, it’s government debt, not popular debt. Methinks “sovereign debt” serves merely to throw the public off the scent.
