Laura Tyson, former National Economic Advisor to President Clinton, argues that infrastructure spending and health care reform should be two policies at the heart of the next President's economic recovery plan.

-----

As debate on the recession moves from "if" to "when" to "how long," The New School's Schwartz Center for Economic Policy Analysis (SCEPA) and the New America Foundation host a panel entitled "It's the Economic Recovery Plan, Stupid," with top economists and business executives.

The panel will discuss the economic and political realities behind the debate on how best to stimulate the economy, including how a major public infrastructure investment might serve as a centerpiece of a longer-term recovery program.

SCEPA will also present a new publication, The Promise of Public Investment, based on its year-long series of forums designed to question conventional wisdom on U.S. economic policy - The New School

How do these people become professors? What good is a degree from a university that this idiot teaches at?

[tickhound]

this woman forgot everything she learned in economics 101. Her answer to fix "things" in our economy is to improve healthcare?... Is there ANYONE in our government who knows what they're doing?

Stop spending as much and save more. Regulate speculators before ecomomic bubbles pop. Regulate the fed, rather than have the fed regulate our economy.

WE DO NOT NEED TO DECREASE CARBON EMISSIONS! Global warming is a load of crap. There is no concrete evidence. The world's oceans are cooling! Antarctic sea ice has expanded! Global Warming is a myth based on faith that we are headed for an apocalypse. It pushes every socialist goal: population control, higher taxes, global economic redistribution, massive government regulation on industry, more power for the UN, villainizing western culture for being successful. Stop being so gullible.
