I've posted quite a few links and comments on deficit spending.
The US federal government is sovereign and therefore does not have to sell debt to finance deficits, counter to popular opinion.

Quite a few economists responded by explaining the error in his logic.
Today at Naked Capitalism Edward Harrison has a post explaining both the deficit hawk's errors and the different policy options available.
