Se f.ex. "The Arithmetic of Near-term Deficits and Debt".
"....because what this arithmetic says is that the size of the deficit in the next year or two hardly matters for the US fiscal position and in fact the size over the next decade is barely significant."

"....America does have a long-run fiscal problem, driven by the combination of rising health costs, an aging population, and the unwillingness to raise taxes to pay for the programs we already have. If we dont come to grips with that problem, bad things will happen. But what happens to the deficit in the medium term is almost irrelevant to the question of whether our long-run finances will get under control."
