Two Major Economic Events: Feb 18 - The Budget; Feb 22 - NEC Deputy Director Jason Furman

NDN and the New Policy Institue will be hosting two events on the economy in the budget in the next week. I hope you will join us for both.

Friday, Feb 18 - The Budget and the Economy 

The release of President Obama's budget on Monday marked an important moment in the debate about the economic and fiscal future of the United States. Americans of all points of view are looking to this budget to understand the specifics of the President's approach to the great challenges of the day, from a competitive, global economy of the 21st century, to the need to accelerate innovation and growth, to long-term debt.

On Friday, February 18, NDN and the New Policy Institute will host a group of economic and budget experts to discuss these matters.

Robert J. Shapiro, Chair, NDN Globalization Initiative

Stan Collender, Partner, Qorvis Communications and author, Capital Gains and Games
