Senator Alan Simpson “The Fiscal Cliff: Go Big or Go Home”
On Monday, December 3, The Common Good presented former Republican Senator Alan Simpson, co-chairman of the Simpson-Bowles plan and a key figure in the budget reform debate.

The plain spoken former senator provided an intimate briefing on the impending “fiscal cliff” and prospects for a bipartisan solution to these problems. With the debate on the “fiscal cliff” and budget balancing dominating Washington and the national news-cycle, it was a great opportunity to hear the ultimate insider’s view on how or whether our political parties find common ground before the US goes over the “fiscal cliff” at the end of this year.
