Tax Policy – Watch: Coronavirus: A Path to Economic Recovery
So far, the federal government has focused on short-term policies to stem the spread of COVID-19 and provide immediate relief, but soon they will need to address what may prove to be an even more difficult task: ensuring a strong post-crisis recovery.
Tax Foundation President Scott Hodge and Vice President of Federal Tax and Economic Policy Karl Smith tackle this important issue in a new video discussion that asks:
- What challenges should we expect to face as the U.S. economy begins to reopen?
- When is the right time for legislators to start focusing on long-term recovery vs. short-term needs?
- What policies should federal legislators pursue to clear a path to recovery?
- How can policymakers improve the U.S. tax system so that it’s better prepared to deal with future crises?
