Investment, Spending, Austerity: Oh My!
 
Three Perspectives on Debt, Deficits, and Sequestration
 
Why is there such a fuss over the debt, deficit, and sequestration (automatic across-the-board cuts in Federal government spending)? Are we digging ourselves further into a hole, or out of one? Despite all the political hoopla, there are some real economic issues and forces at play here that, whatever happens, will affect each of us as individuals and as a society.
 
Panel discussion featuring Drs. Mark Skousen, Eric Schutz, and Charlie Rock (with Dr Harry Kypraios moderating)
