Hefty debt payments lead to heftier taxes, which bite into consumer spending and corporate investment. Economists Carmen Reinhart of the University of Maryland and Kenneth Rogoff of Harvard University found in a recent study that once a country's government-debt-to-GDP ratio passes 90%, growth declines by at least one percentage point a year. For industrialized economies that rarely expand more than 2% or 3% a year, that's a huge chunk. "We're coming at a point in which growth...
