Peterson Foundation to Convene Bipartisan Leaders for 2018 Fiscal Summit: Debt Matters
NEW YORK, May 1, 2018 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Peter G. Peterson Foundation will convene the 2018 Fiscal Summit: Debt Matters on Thursday, May 10, at the Andrew W. Mellon Auditorium in Washington, D.C. As campaigns for the 2018 midterm elections get underway within a rapidly changing policy environment, America's unsustainable fiscal condition remains a transcendent threat to our collective future. The ninth annual Summit will convene leaders, experts and policymakers from across the political and ideological spectrum to present the urgent need for a fiscal reset, and debate how we can create a sustainable fiscal path for generations of Americans.
As interest rates continue to rise, trillion-dollar deficits return as early as next year, and the national debt is on course to eclipse the size of the economy, our nation will face increased budgetary pressures. Absent a change in course, we will confront fewer public and private investments, less flexibility to counteract future economic crises, and diminishing opportunities for generations of Americans.
2018 Summit participants will include:
Senator David Perdue (R-GA), Member, Committee on the Budget; Member, Joint Select Committee on Budget & Appropriations Process Reform
Representative Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), House Democratic Leader
Representative Tom Reed (R-NY), Co-Chair, Problem Solvers Caucus; Member, Committee on Ways and Means
Representative Derek Kilmer (D-WA), Member, Problem Solvers Caucus; Vice Ranking Member, Committee on Appropriations; Member, Joint Select Committee on Budget & Appropriations Process Reform; Vice Chair, New Democrat Coalition
Deanna Mulligan, President and CEO, The Guardian Life Insurance Company of America
Steven Rattner, Chairman and CEO, Willet Advisors LLC
Heather Boushey, Executive Director and Chief Economist at the Washington Center for Equitable Growth
Terry Dinan, Senior Advisor, Congressional Budget Office
Robert Doar, Morgridge Fellow in Poverty Studies, American Enterprise Institute
Simon Johnson, Ronald A. Kurtz (1954) Professor of Entrepreneurship, MIT Sloan School of Management
Mark Hugo Lopez, Director of Hispanic Research, Pew Research Center
Aparna Mathur, Resident Scholar in Economic Policy, American Enterprise Institute
Adele Morris, Policy Director of Climate and Energy Economics Project, Brookings Institution
