Discussing the Budget with Students at the New England College Convention

  • January 9, 2020
  • Ben Ritz

Ben Ritz, the Director of PPI’s Center for Funding America’s Future, presented to students during two breakout sessions at the New England College Convention in Manchester, New Hampshire this week. The first session was a joint presentation about the national debt as an intergenerational issue with Bob Bixby from The Concord Coalition and Brian Riedl from the Manhattan Institute. The panelists spoke with local radio host Chase Hagaman about their presentation on his show, Facing the Future, which airs on New Hampshire’s WKXL station and can be found at the link below. Hagaman also moderated a second session in which Ben discussed with students the public investment proposals presented so far in the presidential campaign, how candidates would fund their agendas, and the impact these plans would have on young Americans.
