Tuesday, September 22, 2009 - 7:00pm - 8:30pm
Join us for a non-partisan forum to discuss the nation's fiscal future.
The panel discussion will feature:
Hon. David M. Walker -- former Comptroller General of the United States
Robert L. Bixby -- Executive Director of The Concord Coalition
Alison Acosta Fraser -- Director, Thomas A. Roe Institute for Economic Policy Studies
Joseph J. Minarik -- Senior Vice President and Director of Research, Committee for Economic Development
The Concord Coalition believes that only with an engaged, informed and demanding public can the nation's fiscal challenges be met. The Fiscal Wake-Up Tour's mission is to cut through the usual partisan rhetoric and stimulate a more realistic public dialogue on what we want our nation's future to look like, along with the required trade-offs. We believe that elected leaders in Washington know there is a problem, but they are unlikely to act unless forced to by their constituents. The Tour began as a series of public forums around the country and now, in addition to those forums, we are organizing in-depth local committees to further focus attention on our nation's daunting long-term fiscal challenges.
