Q: So the so-called austerity approach — tightening government budgets through spending cuts and tax increases — isn’t enough for you. A country can’t keep cutting spending and hope that prosperity eventually shows up?
A: No, that doesn’t work. Eliminating a budget deficit won’t produce growth. It really requires a delicate combination of growth and budget discipline over the longer term. Policymakers have it tough.
