Watch: What Should We Do About the Zombie Tax Extenders?

The Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget hosted a lunch and panel discussion on What Should We Do About the Zombie Tax Extenders? 

The conversation covered the fiscal, economic, and tax policy implications of tax extenders and what should be done going forward. You can watch the video of the event below.

A year and a half ago, at the end of 2017, roughly 30 temporary tax provisions expired. In May 2019, a dozen groups from across the political spectrum – including the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, Americans for Prosperity, Freedom Partners, the Institute for Taxation and Economic Policy, the Economic Policy Institute, Heritage Action, FreedomWorks, the Progressive Policy Institute, the Competitive Enterprise Institute, The Concord Coalition, and Tax March – joined together in calling on Congress to allow these tax extenders to remain expired.

Panelists included:

• Naomi Jagoda, The Hill (moderator)
• Michael Farquharson, 20/20 Vision
• Marc Goldwein, Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget
• Russ Latino, Americans for Prosperity
• Adam Michel, The Heritage Foundation
• Ben Ritz, Progressive Policy Institute
