U.S. Can Stimulate Now, Cut Later

Peter Orszag, Bloomberg
From 2017 to 2022, Social Security's normal retirement age is scheduled to gradually increase to 67. And I'll bet that not only happens as planned, but does so with little fanfare -- which is pretty much what happened several years ago when the age rose from 65 to 66.Therein lies an important point: When policy makers put in place measures carefully designed to reduce the federal deficit in the future, most of them happen. This is a good thing, since enacting more stimulus today and more deficit reduction to take effect later is exactly what the U.S. needs.
