Facing Facts

Facing Facts Quarterly is a Concord Coalition Publication designed to take you inside the details of current fiscal policy debates and tell you the truth about entitlements and the budget.

In every issue you will find an analysis of recent budget news, an in-depth look at an entitlement program controversy, and a collection of important budget facts and figures. Facing Facts is written and edited by Concord Coalition consultants Neil Howe and Richard Jackson.
