Roubini Says Obama Should Address Nation as Adults: Tom Keene

President Barack Obama needs to be upfront with the nation about what must be done to increase the pace of U.S. economic growth, according to Nouriel Roubini, the New York University economist credited with predicting the global financial crisis.

“We have to recognize that Americans are adults,” Roubini said during a radio interview with Tom Keene on Bloomberg Surveillance. “Then we have to speak to them straightforward about the risks and challenges that we have, rather than kicking the can down the road.”
