Washington in Real Time
James Pethokoukis gives an up-to-the-second analysis of politics and policy in the nation's capital. Taking advantage of his vast network of congressional and Obama White House sources, Pethokoukis answers critical questions and provides valuable insight. Will Democrats lose the House or Senate--or both? Who are the Republican front-runners for the 2012 presidential nomination? How will Congress deal with the massive budget deficit and sky-high unemployment? What is the meaning of the latest developments in healthcare reform, financial reform and climate policy? This fast-paced and lively presentation gives an insider's perspective on what's happening in Washington right now and what it all means for the future.
The Next Obama Agenda
The recession may be over, but there is still plenty to do in Washington. James Pethokoukis looks at both the current state of the economy and of the Obama economic and policy agenda -- and where both are heading this year and beyond. Among the issues Pethokoukis examines: 1) How the White House wants to close the budget gap; 2) Whether taxes are going up; 3) The next steps for climate, healthcare and financial policy on Capitol Hill; 4) How the resurgent Republicans will affect Obamanomics. Pethokoukis also looks at how Republicans want to deal with the critical issues facing America.
Reagan 2.0 and the Future of the GOP
After devastating election losses in 2006 and 2008, Republicans appear headed for big gains in the 2010 midterm elections. But what should they do with their newfound influence? James Pethokoukis looks at the future of conservative and free-market economic policy. Just rerunning 1980s-style Reaganomics isn't enough when facing the economic problems of 21st century America.
