From D.C. to Downeast: Avoiding a Debt Crisis

The national debt is reaching historic levels and is growing at an unsustainable rate. What does that mean for us here in Maine?

From the stability of Social Security and Medicare to the effect on interest rates, student loans, and housing, the consequences of our debt trajectory affect us all. Join us for an engaging educational forum featuring a panel of federal and state experts for a non-partisan deep dive into our fiscal trajectory and the path toward sustainability, in-person or on zoom.

The Muskie School of Public Service invites you to a panel discussion to explore:

The Drivers: What factors are pushing the national debt to new heights?

The Maine Connection: How do federal budgetary policy and fiscal uncertainty impact our state economy?

A Path Forward: Policy ideas for building a sustainable fiscal future.

The panel discussion will be followed by a Q&A session, providing an opportunity to ask the experts questions and join in on the conversation.
