Alan Greenspan says economy will start to fade “very dramatically” because of entitlement burdens – CNBC, Apr 12, 2019 – Excerpts:
Key points:
- Economic growth won’t last as the U.S. labors under the burden of growing entitlement programs, former Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan tells CNBC.
- He also cites the effects of weakness around the world.
Economic growth won’t last as the U.S. labors under the burden of growing entitlement programs and weakness around the world, former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan told CNBC.
The long-time central bank chief repeated his warnings about the weight that Social Security, Medicare and other programs are having on what have been otherwise solid gains over the past few years.
“I think the real problem is over the long run, we’ve got this significant continued drain coming from entitlements, which are basically draining capital investment dollar for dollar”….
“Without any major change in entitlements, entitlements are going to rise. Why? Because the population is aging. There’s no way to reverse that, and the politics of it are awful, as you well know,” Greenspan added.
While he said the economy looks “reasonably good” in the short run, he expects that over the longer term, growth “fades very dramatically.”

According to Greenspan, “entitlements are going to rise”… and “there’s no way to reverse that.”
Chairman Greenspan is mistaken.
There is a powerhouse new economic plan which will dramatically change the entitlement spending landscape. It will also generate $465 billion budget surpluses for the federal government and some life-saving budget improvements at the state and local levels.
It will re-fire the economic growth engines, bolster the U.S. Dollar on a long-term basis, stabilize the banking industry, and restore financial security and economic liberty for American families..
