“Congress must get to work,” write two renowned economists and public figures. Come hear Shultz and Shoven explain exactly what work needs to be done. Outlining their perspective on the current status of Social Security and health care, they will share their expertise on alternative ways to fix these programs, and the choices available to enhance benefit levels. Shultz and Shoven introduce their own set of initiatives in an optimistic approach for achieving a brighter economic future.
