  • 2014 Fiscal Summit Summary Book
    Summary and Highlights May 14, 2014 | Washington, D.C. Introduction The Peter G. Peterson Foundation held its fifth annual Fiscal Summit on May 14, 2014 in Washington, D.C. The Summit, titled “Our Economic Future,” convened a range of the nation’s preeminent thought leaders and policymakers to discuss the connection between fiscal health and economic strength. Building a strong fiscal foundation—where spending and revenue are in gen- eral balance and the long-term debt is stabilized at a reasonable level—will help ensure the conditions for economic growth and opportunity for all Americans. Im- proving our long-term fiscal picture will help foster an environment with great- er access to capital, more private investment, improved business and consum- er confidence, and the ability to invest in priorities like education, research and development, and infrastructure. The 2014 Fiscal Summit explored what we, as a nation, have to gain if we act now to strengthen our fiscal foundation; promote a growing, thriving economy; and ensure that our future isn’t diminished by our past.
