Otter said his “free-market tendencies may ruffle a little bit” at Obama’s strategy to pay for immediate economic stimulus by ballooning federal debt. But he said the country risks a worse recession if Obama doesn’t succeed. “I think it’d be deeper and lengthen and maybe even go into a depression if we failed,” Otter said.
