C-Suite Perspectives

Where Candidates Stand on Debt, Deficits, and Labor


Listen Later

The Presidential candidates have spoken about their policies, but what is the possible impact of those policies on the US's fiscal health?

What is each candidate's position on tax cuts, and how are they thinking about revenue-generating policies? How can the next President enact these policies with and without Congress? Should we be worried that neither candidate has mentioned the debt ceiling? And how could their immigration policies impact the labor market?

Join Steve Odland and guest Dana Peterson, Chief Economist at The Conference Board, as they discuss these questions and more in the signature nonpartisan approach of The Conference Board.
