abstract: The article argues Bessent’s tactical bond interventions do not resolve the structural issue of excessive global debt. It positions debt accumulation—not execution or timing—as the core risk. No new data, policy proposal, or Bessent statement is cited; the piece is a standalone analytical critique.

additional property: How the Spin Works
  type: PropertyValue
  value: It combines authoritative tone (Forbes branding) with structural abstraction ('too much debt') to create rhetorical distance from Bessent’s concrete decisions; the claim feels larger than warranted because it substitutes diagnosis for accountability, and the tension lies between an unverified assertion about intervention futility and zero evidence about either the interventions or the 'real problem’s' measurability.
