Presentation and discussion with leading experts on national budget policy

You make the cuts    *   You make the budget

The Office of Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, in conjunction with the University of Arizona, invite you to attend an interactive town hall event about our nation’s deficit.

The town hall will feature the Concord Coalition’s Fiscal Solutions Tour, which includes an overview of the federal budget, national debt and our nation’s other major fiscal challenges. Leading the discussion will be two of our nation’s most respected voices of budget issues: the Honorable David Walker and Robert Bixby. They also will discuss options for closing our budget deficit and restoring fiscal sanity to Washington.

Additionally, the town hall will feature an interactive activity giving you and your fellow attendees the opportunity to try to balance the federal budget yourselves. By considering issues such as federal spending priorities, tax policy and entitlement reform, you will gain firsthand experience addressing the difficult issues facing policymakers in today's fiscal environment.

The Fiscal Solutions Tour will include presentations by respected voices on budget issues:

• The Honorable David Walker — founder and CEO of the Comeback America Initiative and former Comptroller General of the United States

• Robert Bixby — Executive Director of the Concord Coalition and member of the bipartisan Domenici-Rivlin Debt Reduction Task Force.

Special guests include the Tucson Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce. To RSVP, please email RSVPGiffords@mail.house.gov or call 520-881-3588.
