"Good Informational Session. Panelists agreed that if government spending continues at current pace, a financial crisis will be left for the next generation to sort out. The major culprit identified was Health Care (Medicare). Panelists made it clear that they preferred different ways to resolve the issue. One concept is to make the health care consumers more responsible for goods and services purchased, which will reduce unnecessary procedures and force providers to become more cost-competitive."

"Didn't address the hard issues like the cost of maintaining military abroad. Didn't address the Federal Reserve. or the cost of maintaining the IRS"
