When the main problem is that nearly one in five Americans are unemployed, underemployed, or too discouraged to look for a job. The debt is a chronic problem. Massive unemployment is an acute problem. Actually the debt problem is largely a function of the unemployment crisis. Less people working mean less tax receipts. Less tax receipts means bigger deficits.
Focusing on a chronic problem at the expense of an acute problem strikes me as dumb. If you present to the emergency room with chest pains you want them to focus on that and not your diabetes.
