Deficit isn't always bad.
When you run a deficit, you need to borrow money to cover the deficit. This by itself sounds bad as an individual, but the reality with nations is that most nations can borrow money for cheap (like 1-2% APR iirc) so you might as well.
The problem is when you are Greece and no one think you can pay your debts, then the cost of loans increases and you can no longer run a deficit. Terrible things happen.
Well, that and Greece does not run/operate an independent monetary policy (having given that up for a stable/nearly fixed rate due to monetary union; Trilemma), which means they can't finance and service their debt through monetary means.
Again, as I think I've covered this in a previous wall of text, the United States dollar is the world reserve currency, making up ~90ish% of world currency reserves. This gives us a great deal of options when it comes to financing.

I'll do it .. tomorrow. *shrug* So long as people are around to answer my questions. Unlike Wave I have no shame.

Its has more to do with the fact that they where forced to repay debt with their stimulus rather than buyout toxic assets.

The way I understand it, deficit is a good thing if you use the borrowed money to invest it into something that makes you more money than is the interest rate on the borrowed money, right?
The problem arises when that isn't the case and it's time to pay up. Is that correct?
Its more that debt is a problem when you stop investing.

Is it bad that I want to buy a limited edition book for an army I don't even collect at the moment?

As a collector, no. As someone saving money for a wedding or other priorities, yes.
Although I don't think "bad" is the best way to describe it

Thoughts on the first episode of Food Wars:
This is probably Ketara's wet dream.

Yea, I watch some highlights on YT from friends who tell me to watch it.
Looks pretty lolsy, maybe I'll check it out after I finish Kuroko.
Speaking of which, I'm at the Seiren Cavaliers and the Rakuzan Warriors. Seiren vs Kaijo was good, but Seiren vs Yosen was GOAT.

I don't have a clue what you're talking about but I'm guess this isn't NBA?

I haven't bought a pokemon game yet, I was gonna talk to you again because I forgot where you told me to start, lol. I just have majoras mask, braverly default, and smash.
I will search my friend code and let you know later.
@Sufficiency idk how it works but I'm guessing I can trade with more than 1 person

You should get Fire Emblem, Bravely Default is good.

Yeah, I've played Fire Emblem in the past (the gameboy advanced ones). I think awakening is newest one I should get right?

The best way to describe Archon mode is to use an example. Pretend that there is a 1v1 of Terran versus Zerg. Archon mode would be if you and I (Mordek and Frudgey) were playing Terran and we were playing against Wave and Soniv. You and I both get control of the Terran army, and we can issue any order we like, much like an actual 1v1. However, it's really a 2v2 because there are two commanders versus two commanders. HOWEVER, we only get one army between the both of us. So we could only ever get 200 supply of Terran units, but we would each have control of them.
It'd be like two people driving a car. You'd be in the driver's seat, and I would be in the passenger seat. But I would also have a steering wheel, gas pedal and brakes as well. But we're driving the same car, so I could hypothetically slam the breaks while you try and do a right turn and then the car would do this awkward motion of doing a right turn and then coming to a screeching halt.
Also if you get ANY extra LotV beta keys that you're willing to give away I would love to have them. I think I'm the only one here who's still been playing Starcraft 2 on a regular basis since 2010. My friend has a beta key and I'd love to play with him and yet I can't.
Hope that helps and hopefully I didn't confuse you!

Koruko no basket I think the name was, in Japanese at least, which is how I know it lol.
It's over the top, but not nearly as much as Prince of Tennis and no where fucking close to New Prince of Tennis.
Might resume dark souls strim in a few hours, depending on how things turn out/if I get dragged into dota
