NEW YORK, Sept. 22, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The federal debt ceiling debate was a political debacle. Rather than reaching a deal for long-term debt reduction, tax reform and entitlement reform, a bipartisan "super-committee" of U.S. Senators and Representatives was created to formulate a long-term plan by Thanksgiving or face draconian cuts to U.S. Defense spending and entitlement programs. The recommendations of the super-committee will impact the U.S. economy, consumers, the 50 states, municipalities and the future of America.
Esteemed panelists from diverse backgrounds will discuss what the super-committee's plan should look like, how it will impact the federal, state and local governments and the effects that it will have on consumers, retirees and the U.S. economy.
