U.S. Fiscal Cliff and Debt Primer



Executive Summary
  • Expiring tax and expenditure policies if not addressed with likely trigger
    a US recession in early 2013.

       • Policymakers have not moved significantly toward resolving
         differences over fiscal policy, setting stage for fiscal shock in early
         2013

       • Due to liquidity constraint in economy end of tax holiday or tax cuts
         likely to have greater impact than generally acknowledged

       • Federal Reserve will likely resume treasury purchases in advance
         of economy hitting cliff at December 2012 meeting.

Executive Summary
  • Negative growth rates of -3.1 percent in 2013 in contrast to the
    Bloomberg consensus forecast of a 2 percent rate of growth.

  • Personal Consumption
     • End of Bush tax cuts reduces household expenditures by $200
       billion or roughly 1.3 percent of GDP.

       • End of Obama tax holiday reduces personal spending by $95
         billion, subtracting 0.6 percent from overall output.
           • Assuming multiplier of 0.75%
           • Larger multiplier results in greater hit on consumption and
               growth

Fiscal Multiplier
 •   Understanding Multipliers

      •   A multiplier of zero means that an exogenous change in income will have no effect
          on GDP growth.

      •   A multiplier of one indicates that a change in income will result in a one-for-one
          change in GDP.

      •   A multiplier greater than one means that GDP will change by more than the
          exogenous change in income.

Fiscal Multipliers
 •   The estimation of the impact of fiscal multipliers among economists remains an intensely
     debated topic.
       • Under current economic conditions estimation of multipliers suggest serious risk of
         weaker pace of consumption, negative growth and rising unemployment.

 •   Consumer Behavior
      • Save lump sum tax rebates
      • Spend income related to Bush cuts and Obama tax holiday
      • Lower income groups take much larger hit

 •   Liquidity constraints suggest likely larger multiplier effects
       • Impaired credit system
       • 13 million mortgages with negative equity or near negative equity
       • Consumers rapidly drawing down savings
       • Sluggish wage growth and falling earnings

BGOV: Automatic Sequestration
 •   Office of Management and Budget will instruct federal government agencies to cut
     $103.9 billion from budgets.
       • $54.7 billion from non-defense discretionary and entitlement programs including
          Medicare
            • Total non-defense discretionary spending cut by 8.2 percent.
       • $54.7 billion from the Pentagon and other defense related programs.
            • Defense outlays reduced by 9.4 percent.

 •   Agencies likely to delay cuts until late February or early March in hopes that an
     agreement can be reached.

 •   If sequestration occurs roughly half the cuts will occur in 2014 extending fiscal drag over
     next two years.

 •   If sequestration is implemented under current law it will continue through 2021 in the
     form of budget caps.

       • US Federal debt to GDP ratio stands at 101 percent.

       • Period of fiscal restraint necessary

       • Periods with greater investment as a share of GDP are highly
         correlated with faster growth and rising living standards

       • One risk, among many, to the U.S. economy is that rising
         entitlement spending will require the government to borrow a
         finite amount of capital from private savers, squeezing out
         private firms who need that capital to expand the businesses and
         increase productivity.

     • U.S. federal spending on mandatory entitlements will likely
       increase from $2 trillion in 2012, to $2.8 trillion in 2017.

       • Spending on entitlements as a share of GDP increased from 4.9
         percent in 1962 to an estimated 13.5 percent in 2012. In
         contrast net fixed business investment will probably decline to
         1.7 percent in 2012, down from 3 percent in 1962

  • Longer Term Policy Tradeoffs Demand Near Term Action
     • Over time the spread between net fixed business investment and
       mandatory outlays has widened.

       • Continuing on this path will result in reduced productivity levels,
         slower growth, higher unemployment and an overall lower
         standard of living.

       • Between 1967 and 2011 the difference between spending as a
         percentage of GDP in net business fixed investment has
         increased from 0.7 to 12 percent.

       • During the five years prior the spread was 0.92
