National Academy of Public Administration
900 7th Street NW
Meeting Level - Auditorium

Join the National Academy of Public Administration and Public Agenda for a panel discussion on the national debt – the problem and possible solutions – including the results of "The Buck Stops Where?", a poll of D.C. movers and shakers asked about problem, and a look at ways America can rise above the partisan divide that is impeding progress on this issue.

Speakers at this event include Elaine Kamarck and John Castellani. Karmack is on the faculty of the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University. She was a White House advisor to President Clinton from 1993-1997, and is the author of "The End of Government As We Know It: Policy Implementation in the 21st Century" and "Primary Politics: How Presidential Candidates Have Shaped the Modern Nominating System."

John Castellani is the President and CEO of the Business Roundtable. He frequently provides news commentary on business and public policy issues, and has appeared on programs including NBC’s "Meet the Press," PBS' "The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer," Fox News Channel's "Special Report," and CNBC's "Street Signs."

Influencers Talk About The National Debt," a Public Agenda study done for the John D. and Catherine T.
