Tax Policy Center Hosts Program Today on Federal Budget Politics and the Next President

The Tax Policy Center hosts a program today on Red Ink and Bad Blood: What Do Federal Budget Politics Mean for the Next President and You? (webcast here):

Fiscal cliff. Taxmaggedon. Debt default. The Great Recession. Political gridlock. Sequestration. The making -- or unmaking -- of the federal budget is at play with each of these. Making sense of it all is the focus of David Wessel’s new book, Red Ink: Inside the High Stakes Politics of the Federal Budget.

• David Wessel (Economics Editor, The Wall Street Journal)
• Alice Rivlin (Co-chair, Bipartisan Policy Center’s Debt Reduction Task Force)
• Joseph Minarik (Senior Vice-President, Committee for Economic Development)
• Eugene Steuerle (Co-founder, Tax Policy Center)
