Abstract:
Ensuring economic growth and productivity will require keeping marginal tax rates low; encouraging investment in human capital; maintaining America's openness to trade and investment; and dealing with the projected, unsustainable long-term growth in entitlement spending while making sure that entitlement reforms preserve protections against financial risk without having negative effects on the economy.
