Join us for our Feb. 25th Issues Briefing: The Federal Budget, Continued

by Ana Zovko 0 comments

With the federal government at the brink of closing its doors, this morning panel is an opportunity to hear from – and question – the top two Democratic and Republican staff members on the House Budget Committee along with one of the keenest budget intellects in Washington. What are the implications of the budget impasse for health-care, defense, social programs, entitlements and the states? The question of whether to raise the debt ceiling, once considered little more than a bargaining chip, looms ever larger. Could the federal wallet simply snap shut? The panelists: Thomas S. Kahn and Austin Smythe of the House Budget Committee, and Maya MacGuineas of the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget. Moderator: Martin Kady, Congressional Editor, POLITICO.

Join our expert panel for an in-depth discussion of these issues and your questions.
