In the coming weeks and months, the United States faces a number of “fiscal speed bumps” related to the debt ceiling, the sequestration, and continuing to fund the government for the next fiscal year. Although recent improvements in the short-term budget picture have reduced the apparent urgency for action, these moments provide an opportunity to reassess and reevaluate fiscal policy in the United States. Join us for a lively discussion where a diverse panel of experts will debate and discuss the best way forward.
