Fiscal Health: Road Map for a Responsible Fiscal Budget During Economic Disruption

Debt matters. The US economy is already at risk of a fiscal crisis from the unsustainable federal budget deficits and outsized debt. Inflation and rising interest costs now make servicing that debt even more costly and will stunt out the economy’s ability to invest and grow, crowd out its ability to fund our national priorities, as well as the government’s capacity to respond to threats and contingencies, and to prepare for the future. How did we get here, why should businesses care about it, and what can we do to course correct to fiscal and economic growth and stability?

By attending this webcast, you will learn:

  • The state of play in the debt ceiling negotiations and prospects for resolving the crisis;
  • Why debt matters. The impact of our large fiscal debt on the economic growth and private investment; 
  • Insights and solutions for what it would take to get our deficits reduced and our debt back to sustainable levels so our economy is not at risk of disruption.

Who Should Attend: Business executives and public policy leaders who are concerned about economic growth and innovation and how outsized public debt negatively impacts those objectives and why fiscal responsibility matters and why the private sector needs to weigh in.
