What is missing is more regulation from Washington and more prosecution, not less.

Tuesday, September 15, 2009 : 8:45AM - 10:00AM
Crystal Ball 2010 – The What and Why of the Next Economy
The recent economic troubles and financial turbulence stem from a mixture of sources. By U.S. and global standards, the financial crisis and recession are not new or difficult to diagnose having occurred around the globe in a variety of forms. What is new is a housing bubble unlike anything experienced in the U.S., household indebtedness, and the fact that the federal government entered this crisis in an unprecedented state of fiscal disarray. Join us as Mr. Holtz-Eakin evaluates the Bush and Obama Administration efforts at financial bailout, economic stimulus and housing relief, identifies the keys to a sustainable economic recovery in the United States and globally and discusses the likely path for U.S. economic growth and employment.
