Adam Ozimek: Government spending should have increased when rates were low
Ozimek urges government spending at low rates

Adam Ozimek stated that while a key idea after the Great Recession was to encourage companies to invest rather than focus on buybacks, the government should have instead increased spending when interest rates were low, and cut back over the long term to be prepared for periods of high rates. Ozimek also believes that businesses should wait and save for the right time to invest, which he suggests is now.

Ozimek has previously highlighted that high interest rates may lower bubble risks by reducing excess capital in markets. His recent comments expand on how timing and government actions affect investment decisions. The focus remains on policy shifts as rates change.
