Surplus-Related Fiscal Policy Issues
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper discussing fiscal policy as it relates to the way today's decisions will affect the future economy. We can be assured that there will be some form of "correction" in the future, and today's fiscal policy needs to be based on the consequences of that future correction as well as current conditions. It has been predicted that adhering to current practice will reduce national debt from $3.5 trillion to $865 billion in only nine years. Though it will enable the economy to grow faster, it will also have unpredictable results on the financial sector. It will also allow some bail-out of Social Security so that active workers will not be working to directly support two families - their own and some unknown person who already has reached retirement age. Bibliography lists 9 sources.
