WSW Special Webinar – Joint Select Committee: No Deal
Winning Strategies Washington hosted a webinar on November 29th discussing the Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction (JSC) and its failure to reach agreement on a plan to reduce the deficit by at least $1.2 trillion.
Led by WSW Managing Partner Donna Mullins, a 17 year Hill veteran who served in multiple senior positions for high ranking House Appropriations Committee members, and WSW Partner Rob Zucker, a Hill veteran who served in multiple roles including as a senior policy advisor to a Member on the Appropriations Committee, the webinar addressed what the JSC failure to act means and what the impact of the automatic cuts, or attempts to roll them back, will be.
Topic covered include:
- Why the JSC failed
- What happens next?
- Near-term “Must-Dos”
- What failure means to key programs such as: Medicare/Medicaid, domestic and defense discretionary spending, and education
- Alternatives to sequestration: Is there a “Plan B?”
