Curb Health Costs to Cut U.S. Budget Gap, NABE Survey Says
http://www.bloomberg.com/news/20…About half of business economists said in a private survey that U.S. fiscal policy should be more restrictive in the next two years even with the economic recovery showing signs of faltering.
Almost six of every 10 members polled by the National Association for Business Economics (http://www.nabe.com/) said U.S. lawmakers should reduce the federal budget deficit mostly through spending cuts. Forty percent of the respondents said curbing health-care costs would probably be the most successful part of any such plan.
The debate over federal spending has taken on greater urgency since Standard & Poor’s this month downgraded long-term U.S. government debt for the first time. The cut reflected the failure of Congress and President Barack Obama to craft a budget plan “necessary to stabilize the general government debt burden by the middle of the decade,” the credit-rating service said.
