63. Economic Policy Workshop #4 Video: Dan Mitchell and Barry Poulson

In this newsletter, I provide a video for the recent Economic Policy workshop. We discuss federal and state budgets, best practices, fiscal rules, and tax relief. You don't want to miss it.

Hello Friend,

We had a fantastic discussion during today’s Economic Policy Workshop #4. You can find the videos of the first two workshops here and the third workshop here.

It was great to talk with my friends and happy fiscal warriors:

• Dan Mitchell: Top expert on fiscal policy issues such as tax reform, the economic impact of government spending, and supply-side tax policy. Prior to joining Cato, Mitchell was a senior fellow with The Heritage Foundation, and an economist for Senator Bob Packwood and the Senate Finance Committee. And writes prolifically about fiscal rules.

• Barry Poulson: Emeritus Professor of Economics at the University of Colorado. He is the author of numerous books and articles in the fields of economic development and economic history. His current research focuses on fiscal policies and fiscal constitutions. He has served on the Colorado Tax Commission and as Vice Chair of the State Treasurer’s Advisory Group on Constitutional Amendments in Colorado.

Our robust discussion was about the federal and state budgets, the need for fiscal rules, what obstacles and opportunities there will be this year, and more.

Overview of the Let People Prosper newsletter: We believe that an inclusive institutional framework with individual liberty, strong families, robust civil society, competitive capitalism, and a constitutional republic best supports abundant opportunities to relieve poverty and let people prosper. This prosperity isn’t just material but spiritual, psychological, etc. that satisfies human desires. Given this understanding and my experience and research as a free-market economist, I provide trusted views on economies and policies across America, especially Texas where I reside, and the COVID-19 situation.
