Dec 1, 2012

Topic: Economic Futures

Title:    After Election forecast for the "Economic Cliff"

Presenter: Jim Zitek

Abstract: Now that the politicians have blown $6 billion (using a tax deduction loophole) to talk about which candidate cares more about condoms and a woman’s reproductive rights, its time to talk about the Fiscal Cliff or the straw man they created last year so they could maintain the status quo through the election.
 
Is there a Fiscal Cliff? Have we already gone off the cliff? Will a $100 billion or 1.4% cut in government spending destroy the economy when we are spending $3.5 trillion? Or when the Treasury sold $260 billion in bonds on the Friday after thanks giving? Or the $2 trillion plus we need to add to the debt ceiling by the end of the year? 

 

Attendee Poll - Do you forecast US will go over the Fiscal Cliff? Results:  Yes 50% No 50%
