Big decisions face policymakers in upcoming years
State Economist Tom Stinson said a critical series of decisions lay ahead for public policy makers in the next five, six years as Baby Boomers begin to retire and exert greater demands on the health care system.
Stinson indicated that he doesn’t foresee the nation suffering a “double-dip” recession, with the economy again going into the trough.
Stinson struck a lighter note when asked whether he saw factors that could hold back the recovery.
“All economist can see dark clouds,” he quipped.
