Unites State Debt- One Key to Long Term Fiscal Strength

Aug 7, 2011 by

I don’t know the affect of the S&P downgrade( although I suspect that the standard riskless treasury bills are bigger then the ratings themselves) Regardless it is important to note one key item  from the  S&P report. While its true that S&P takes no position on the mix of revenues ( ie Taxes)and spending ( ie Cuts)

However , importantly to the debate, the report does state the following :

“In addition, the plan envisions only minor policy changes on Medicare and little change in other entitlements,
the containment of which we and most other independent observers regard as key to long-term fiscal sustainability.”

Below is a link to the full report.
