interest rates

The featured speaker at Monday's Democratic tele-luncheon will be Elliott Parker, PhD, Economics professor at the University of Nevada-Reno and Nevada's Second Gentleman. His presentation, on the subject of budget deficits and public debt, will explore the issue of when reliance upon deficit spending to finance public sector investments is warranted and prudent, and how increases in levels of accumulated government debt affects interest rates and perceptions of national credit worthiness.
