SUMMARY:Understanding Fiscal Policies\, Debt\, and Entitlements
DESCRIPTION:We are overwhelmed with diverse perspectives and approaches to fiscal policies that can be confusing. Are we in a fiscal crisis over debt\, entitlements\, and the federal budget? Such a complex issue\, focusing on debt/debt ceiling and entitlements\, will be unpacked by NFRPP’s two distinguished economists with different perspectives and solutions. Presentations will be followed by a discussion with NYTimes’ Peter Coy and your questions. \n\nTo RSVP for the Zoom Webinar: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_E62T586YQmSke9Rp3p4_aQ \nTo watch the event on Facebook Live: https://www.facebook.com/NFRPP/live_videos/ \nThis event is from 7:30 pm to 9:00 pm EST on Thursday\, March 16\, 2023 \n\nSpeakers: \nSimon Johnson is the Ronald A.
