An American Speedtrap
Article Abstract:
Economic growth in the United States has been too fast. The stop-go theory calls for the present United States go to come to a stop with inflation and unemployment. Rising interest rates and government borrowing practices are pushing the economy away from needed investment and into consumption. The government's aim is to keep the recovery on course and interest rates down. To achieve this, public borrowing must be curtailed as the private sector expands.
