Iagree withMr Orszag that additionalfiscalstimuluswouldbea very goodidea and that ideallyitwould be paired with the adoption ofa credible, medium-term path todeficit reduction.
The uptick in market volatility this week represents a blip compared to what may occur when markets are forced to deal head on with a serious stimulusreduction.
We can imagine both bullish and bearish outcomes to stimulusreduction, but believe the Fed would be wise to choose a path that is well telegraphed and methodical.
