The lawmakers we choose this November will face critical fiscal and economic decisions in the next two, four, and six years.
Starting in 2025, the president and Congress will confront a series of urgent deadlines and decision points. The choices our leaders make will determine how much families and businesses pay in taxes, whether or not there are automatic cuts to Social Security and Medicare, the affordability of healthcare under the ACA, and what to do about the debt ceiling. Undoubtedly, 2024 is a Fiscal Election.
