The 2011 Mortimer Caplin Conference on the World Economy: “Tax Reform, Deficit Control and Global Competitiveness”

Thursday, December 8, 2011
1:00 PM – 4:30 PM: Conference Panel Sessions

National Press Club
529 14th Street Northwest
Washington, DC 20045

It is difficult to disagree with the assessment that debt is both a national and global problem. Nonetheless, deep disagreements exist about ways to solve it. Arguments about tax theory, tax fairness, and entitlement programs run squarely into concerns about the role, reach and cost of the federal government. And policymakers remain unable to reconcile wants and needs on a national scale. The Fourth Annual Mortimer Caplin Conference on the World Economy will bring together senior government officials along with the best thinkers from the academy and the private sector to discuss and debate a number of questions related to tax reform, deficit control and economic competitiveness in the international economy.

Panel One
1:00 – 2:45 p.m.
“The Politics of Fiscal Reform: Implications and Imperatives for 2012″
Margaret Brennan (moderator), Host, Bloomberg TV’s “InBusiness with Margaret Brennan”
Mark Penn, CEO Worldwide, Burson-Marsteller; President, Penn Schoen Berland
Michael Barone, Senior Political Analyst, Washington Examiner
Sarah Binder, Senior Fellow in Governance Studies, Brookings Institution
John Sides, Assistant Professor of Political Science, George Washington University

Panel Two
3:00 – 4:30 p.m.
“Superpower in Decline or America Resurgent? Prospects for the U.S. in the Global Economy”
Margaret Brennan (moderator)
Stephen Moore, Economic writer and policy analyst; member, Wall Street Journal editorial board
Darlene Miller, President and CEO, Permac Industries; Member, President’s Council on Jobs and Competitiveness
Mihir A. Desai, Professor of Business Administration, Harvard Business School
Eric Solomon, former Assistant Treasury Secretary for Tax Policy; former Assistant Chief Counsel of IRS; Principal at Ernst & Young

This past weekend, the UVA Flag Football Team rebounded in a big way to bring their record to 2-2.  Maryland and Georgia Tech played well, but the UVA team’s defense was stellar, and their offense moved the ball well, capitalizing on some turnovers.  Thank you to everyone that made it out for their early double-header.  The team will resume play on October 22.

 

Schedule for the remainder of the season:

 

October 22nd:  8:00 AM vs. NC State

October 23rd:  11:00 AM vs. Illinois

October 30th:  11:00 AM vs. Syracuse

November 13th:  11:00 AM vs. Boston

November 19th:  8:00 AM vs. JMU

November 20th:  9:30 AM vs. South Carolina

 

Let’s keep this winning streak going!
