With federal debt levels reaching unprecedented heights, deficits continuing to grow, and insolvencies of major federal spending programs like Medicare and Social Security looming on the horizon, concern is mounting across the political spectrum about the United States’ fiscal trajectory. How did we get here? How does this affect the economy? And what can we do about it?
In a conference co-organized by AEI, the Penn Wharton Budget Model, the Brookings Institution, and the Burch Center for Tax Policy and Public Finance, experts from academia, government, and industry will discuss the federal government’s current fiscal track, its causes and consequences, and what can be done to put us back on a sustainable path.
