Human Side of the Fiscal Crisis Event Today
CRFB today is hosting a timely and unique policy forum on "The Human Side of the Fiscal Crisis." The event kicks off at 9 am and features a stellar lineup of participants from a wide array of backgrounds and perspectives.
The event will examine two divergent paths for the U.S. -- action or inaction -- and how each will affect a variety of groups and generations. The event will be moderated by Ruth Marcus of The Washington Post and speakers include CRFB co-chair and former Congressman Bill Frenzel; SEIU President Emeritus Andy Stern; Lenny Mendonca of McKinsey Global Institute; Derek Thompson of The Atlantic; John Rother of AARP, Ryan Schoenike of Young Americans for Debt Awareness; Deborah Weinstein of Coalition on Human Needs; Norman Ornstein of AEI; William Hoagland of CIGNA; Joe Minarik from the Committee for Economic Development; and Scott Bittle of Public Agenda.
CRFB's Anne Vorce will present her new paper on "America's Fiscal Choices at a Crossroad." And CRFB will annouce and show the winning videos from our "Voices of America" fiscal video contest. Full program and live webcast available here.
