New York State leaders and national experts on state finances explored fiscal problems facing the states and examined potential solutions at the Institute’s first national conference on states’ long-term budget gaps. In his keynote address, Walker outlined challenges facing both the federal and state governments. He discussed potential solutions including a constitutional limit on federal debt, “fiscally responsible health-care reform,” comprehensive tax reform, and a “grand bargain” in which the federal government might assume states’ health-care costs.
