 Arianna Huffington: On Monday, I spoke at a conference centered on the timely theme of "Delivering in a Delevering World." "Delevering," as it's traditionally used, means decreasing a company or country's leverage, usually by paying down existing debt. It is a term more likely to be heard at finance conferences than around dinner tables, but it's an idea that gets to the heart of our current economic crisis. Because the ways we pay down our debts, in life and in business, have a real influence on our ability to arrive at positive outcomes. Unfortunately, on both the political and economic level, we're being told that delevering means that we must cut, cut, cut. But smart delevering isn't just about cutting -- and the relentless emphasis on cutting has obscured the more important question of what is being cut. In far too many cases, our approach to delevering is keeping us from growing, and keeping us from tapping into all our resources. BLOG POSTS  | Sandra Fluke: Thank You, Affordable Care Act!
