Opis

Fiscal Therapy takes a critical look at how and why the U.S. has run up its debt so high in the last four decades, what other countries have done to dig themselves out of this level of red ink, and what needs to be done now if the U.S. is to avoid bankruptcy in the 2050s and beyond.

Recenzje

"Deficit reduction is certain to return to the center stage of political debate in Washington at some point. Bill Gale is a veteran of past debates and is well equipped to guide the public and policymakers through a jungle filled with traps involving taxes, health policy, retirement programs, national defense and many others. Those wishing to separate real, long-term solutions from those that promise more than they can deliver will find an objective, nonpartisan map in Fiscal Therapy." -Bruce Bartlett, former economic policy adviser to Presidents Reagan and George H.W. Bush and author of The Benefit and the Burden: Tax Reform-Why We Need It and What It Will Take.
