As Capitol Hill approaches a deal on the debt ceiling an economist says there’s a simple way for Americans to help erase the country’s debt: work for extra decade beyond the current retirement age of 65. Pippa Malmgren, who was financial market advisor to George W. Bush from 2001-2002, told The Takeaway on Thursday that “the bottom line” is that the U.S. “can fix our problems pretty easily, everybody just has to work ten years longer.” Mike Munger, professor of political science and economics at Duke University, says the plan may not be realistic or do enough to reduce the deficit.
