Marc Goldwein will lead an effort to examine how policymakers could put the U.S. government’s finances on a more sustainable path. He will develop a set of policy proposals that could restore solvency to the trust funds providing support to retirees, disabled persons, and transportation infrastructure and assess the potential economic implications of waiting until the trust funds have been exhausted, in order to encourage earlier action by policymakers. The project’s findings will appear in a series of reports and policy briefs.
Marc Goldwein will lead an effort to examine how policymakers could best address looming shortfalls in three of the federal government’s trust funds to put the U.S. government’s finances on a sustainable path. He will undertake research and analysis related to the federal trust funds that provide support for retirees, disabled persons, and infrastructure spending; conduct outreach to inform policymakers and the public about the need for reform; and work with members of Congress interested in putting forth such solutions. The project’s findings will appear in a series of reports and policy briefs.
Marc Goldwein will lead an effort to inform the policy community about fiscal policy decisions that can limit inflationary pressures in the U.S. economy. He will develop a framework for analyzing the role that fiscal policy can play in limiting inflation and commission a series of analyses of policy changes that could do so. The project’s findings will appear in a series of reports and policy briefs.
