Message from House Speaker paul ryan during his press conference. Also ways and means kevin brady said he is not discouraged and is moving, quote, full speed ahead on tax reform but the problem here is that health care and tax reform are connected by the complicated math of the federal budget. Ryan and brady have both pledged that tax reform will be revenue neutral. That means it will not change how much money is flowing into feder federal coiffuers. Theyll bring in 31 trillion over the next dec...

Numbers under current law the Budget Office estimates the government will bring in 41 trillion over the next decade but repealing obama care would have reduced numbers. You dont have to raise new taxes to make up the difference. That was basically a freebie. Now thats a very different conversation than tax reform. To keep it revenue neutral theyll have to offset any tax cuts with tax increases somewhere else. Its much easier to do that if you are trying to hit a goal of 40 trillion instead of 41...

I think thats probably one of the committees chief concerns. I think the president is absolutely correct that we need to spend more on defense. I dont have any doubt about it at all, and i think hes absolutely correct as well that it needs to be done in a fiscally responsible way with offsetting reductions elsewhere in the budget. Wher...

Professor levy ok. In our lecture on the Great Depression, i talked about the origins of any financial crisis, it is always important to look at the resolution to the last crisis. When we think about the Great Recession, we have two moments of origin.
