It is not a completely innocent fraud, however, it’s ideologically driven, at the very least, to the extent that people in power are very ready to believe myths about public debt in their eagerness to shrink the state. You don’t have to be a socialist to believe that, see what the UK’s best macro-economist says at http://mainlymacro.blogspot.co.uk/2013/08/bringing-economics-back-into-fiscal.html
