CED Trustees on Economic Policy: Concerned, Skeptical, and Engaged

The press is running stories that the federal budget is improving. But CED’s Trustees aren’t convinced.

An April 2013 survey asked Trustees of the Committee for Economic Development about the state of the economy; monetary, fiscal, and healthcare policy; business statesmanship; and more.

Poll highlights include:

  • 88% do not believe that the Congress can or will reach a bipartisan solution to the nation’s budget problem this year.
  • 41% believe the Federal Reserve will tighten its current stance on monetary policy in 2015.
  • 17% believe it will be more than five years from now.
  • 63% percent believe that the 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act will be the core of U.S. health care five years from now.
  • Slightly more than half (54 %) say that the nation’s annual budget deficit will be higher five years from now than it is this year.
