Doom loop: "under perceived pressure from financial markets, the government cuts spending, which lowers growth, which shrinks tax revenues, which makes markets more wary of lending to the government. Follow this loop for any length of time and, well, the government isn’t in government any more.”

Terrific column - also highlights one absurdity among many of the calls for a further inquiry: the people doing so will openly admit that they “know” what the problem is and some will even say precisely what extreme means should follow from this knowledge - yet their call is another inquiry.
