Policies That Work Series: How Will the Federal Debt Impact Future Generations?

As the federal debt continues to reach unprecedented levels, it poses profound challenges to economic stability, government spending, and the financial security of future generations. In light of the economic and financial implications of the presidential candidates’ main policy proposals, panelists will uncover how federal borrowing impacts interest rates, inflation, and future fiscal policies, and provide a clearer understanding of what rising debt means for the economy at large — and your personal finances.

Join us on Oct. 23 for the first installment of Policies that Work, a new series exploring the national policies shaping America.

In a discussion moderated by Senior Vice Dean Joao Gomes, Profs. Jeremy Siegel and Kent Smetters – Faculty Director of the Penn Wharton Budget Model – will explore the intricate relationship between national debt and economic stability, growth, and the financial well-being of individuals.

By exploring how federal borrowing impacts interest rates, inflation, and future fiscal policies, you will gain a clearer understanding of what the rising debt in the U.S. means for the economy at large — and your personal finances.

Options to attend in-person and virtually.
