Kellogg’s Public-Private Initiative, in collaboration with the Urban-Brookings Tax Policy Center of Washington, D.C., and supported by the Public Policy Club, presents @Issue, a conversation on current policy topics.

This @Issue event, "Making Sense of Fiscal Chaos", features a panel discussion moderated by Professor Jan Eberly, and including Professor Ben Harris, recently chief economist and economic adviser to VP Joseph Biden.

A trifecta of fiscal uncertainty—a possible government shutdown, the threat of a default due to the debt ceiling, and an unknown course for tax reform— looms on the horizon this fall. Congress recently passed a ten-week short-term extension of government funding and debt ceiling relief, so there is now a common deadline in early December. This deadline, coupled with the promise of a major tax reform, puts fiscal issues at the forefront of this fall's business and policy agenda.

On Thursday, September 28, former senior officials and experts on fiscal issues will discuss the prospects for the fiscal landscape—focusing on potential resolutions and impact on the economy.
