Session 1: Fiscal Policy Challenges
Previous Session | Program | Next Session
Policymakers are aware of the economic challenges of transitioning to less stimulative near-term policies while simultaneously addressing the difficult long-term budget realities implied by public commitments to current and future retirees, desires for lower tax rates, and sharply rising discretionary spending. Our keynote speaker will identify the fiscal policy challenges faced by the United States over the next couple of decades.
