Student loan debt is getting a lot of attention these days, but many experts believe that college students should also fear the ever-increasing threat that federal, state, and local government spending poses to their future. Pension and health care promises made by the government are not sustainable, and if action is not taken soon, millennials will face an economic crisis of historic proportions. Other experts believe that these fears are overblown, and that governments should be expanding, not contracting, their role in society. Is there common ground to be found?
Join Professor David Primo as he leads a panel discussion about why this issue matters to you. The panelists include Dean Baker of the Center for Economic and Policy Research, Veronique de Rugy of the Mercatus Center, and Daniel DiSalvo of the Manhattan Institute.
A reception with food and drinks will follow the event.
