A breakdown of budgets, deficits and debt at Drinking Liberally Sunday

by David Safier

The Drinking Liberally crew at the Shanty, 401 East 9th Street (corner of 9th Street & 4th Avenue), will be having its usual gathering this Sunday at 6pm. As always, it's free, and all are invited. The drinking part, of course, is optional.

Sunday's topic is "Budgets and Deficits and Debt, Oh My!", beginning at 7:30. Presenter will be Andrea Witte of www.ConnectTheDotsUSA, also owner of Witte Design. Here is the summary.

"Do the Federal budget, deficit and debt seem like scary, untamable beasts? Are you confused, overwhelmed and concerned that the proposed cuts coming out of Washington are threatening the American Dream? We’ll break it all down in a fun, visual presentation and debunk a few myths along the way. Come learn about the trends and policies that got us here and what we can do to reverse them."
