Interestingly, what you are proposing is exactly the sort of rent-seeking that plagued the new nation during the Articles of Confederation, and that the contracts clause was designed to prevent the states from doing.

But that was clearly a cogent response in support of the debt relief. Just because you don't find it personally compelling and aren't supportive of it, doesn't mean there isn't clear logic to the proposal. It just seems like you think there are more downsides than upsides.

I'll grant that it was written in complete sentences. "Clear logic" -- not so much.

Can you explain what you don’t find logical about it? That’s a rather pointed accusation and a pretty degrading comment, frankly.

Perhaps a cue was taken from "you haven't thought about it very much". That was a rather pointed accusation and a pretty degrading comment, frankly.
