The Return of Federal Surpluses, Full Social Security Benefits for
Baby Boomers, or Elvis: Which Will We See First?
The panel you heard from before the lunch hour covered the global
economy. The panel that follows me, I see, is going to tell you where to
put your money. Well, I'm not going to tell you anything as concrete as
those two panels. Instead, I'm going to talk a little about how the federal
government might influence the economy at large as well as future
investments.
The nation's budget plays an important role in the country's economy.
Tax and spending decisions-not to mention regulatory actions-
influence the economy in numerous ways. Even seemingly minor
decisions by federal policymnakers can have profound consequences upon
corporate America, local governments, small businesses, and individual
citizens.
