Issue Briefs

December 13, 2016

Three former congressmen and a retired U.S. ambassador warned of the difficult fiscal policy challenges facing the incoming Trump administration and congressional leaders at a forum last week in Concord, N.H.

The bipartisan panel discussed issues such as the growing debt and deficit, tax reform, affordable health care, Social Security and infrastructure investment. It was hosted by The Concord Coalition and the Warren B. Rudman Center at the University of New Hampshire School of Law.

Panel members were retired ambassador George Bruno and former congressmen Charles Bass, Paul Hodes and William H. Zeliff. Bruno and Hodes are Democrats; Bass and Zeliff are Republicans. Robert L. Bixby, Concord’s executive director, moderated the conversation.
