Headed over to Europe for a week to talk fiscal policy–I know…many snarky comments come to mind, but I will resist. It’s pretty much mathematically impossible to get your country’s balance sheet in order when r>g (when the nominal interest rate on your sovereign debt is greater than your nominal growth rate), but that doesn’t constitute much of a speech, so I’ll be busy on the airplane.
Light posting depending on time and wireless and jet lag.
