Stimulus and Recovery: Where Should the Spending Go?

December 5, 2008, 12:30pm - 2:00pm

The U.S. economy is in as serious trouble as at any time in decades. The effects of the financial crisis have moved from Wall Street to the daily opera­tions of business and the daily lives of families. As the economy continues to deteriorate, the need for an economic stimulus and recovery package becomes increasingly pressing.

Please join us for a panel discussion looking at the role and makeup of economic stimulus and recovery legislation. The panel will discuss this issue in general, and in the context of the Center for American Progress' paper on "How to Spend $350 Billion in a First Year of Stimulus and Recovery," which will be released at the event.
