Here is a talk (2004) by Peter R. Orszag (currently director of Office of Management and
Budget, us.gov), still following the conventional thought:
Last part: Conclusion
I’m eager to get to the question-and-answer period, so let me close merely by
reiterating the main message of my talk. Under reasonable projections, the nation faces a
long period of sustained high budget deficits. The existing deficits are already forcing us
to borrow hundreds of billions of dollars a year from abroad, especially from foreign
governments. And the costs will only grow over time.
Yet many policy-makers appear to be insensitive to the longer-run risks to U.S.
economic performance from sustained, large budget deficits. Those risks are real, and the
sooner we start to reduce them, the better. |
