Greenspan Warns US Must Address Debt, Deficit

June 18, 2010

Wall Street Journal

Greenspan says interest rates have remained low, which he says is the result of deflationary slack in the economy, but will at some point have to rise significantly. Greenspan calls on Congress and the President to make the difficult political choices needed to return to a disciplined budget process that reduces the need for deficit spending.
