“The Impact of Kicking the Can Down the Road”

Tom Smythe, Professor of Business, Furman University

The “credit crisis” and the “debt debate” are among the pressing political issues that have a direct impact on the markets and the economy.  But when political leaders settle for temporary solutions and “kick the can down the road,” it leads to uncertainty for everyone, from the smallest mom-and-pop businesses to the largest corporations.  Dr. Smythe will look at what continued inaction on the political front might mean for the future of the American economy.
