America’s Debt and Deficit Crisis: Issues and Solutions with Alan Simpson and Erskine Bowles
Everyone in Washington knows that the current fiscal path America is on is unsustainable, unconscionable and predictable—but few have the political will to enact the hard choices that must be made to get the country “back on track.” Appointed by President Obama to co-chair the National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform, Alan Simpson and Erskine Bowles provide a candid, bipartisan discourse on what America’s leaders must do to confront what many see as the largest and most critical economic, social, business and national security threat that the country faces. From taxes and spending to entitlement and Social Security reform and encouraging business growth, Simpson and Bowles offer an enlightening discussion on solutions for bridging America’s deficit, debt and interest gap.
