Author/Creator: Committee for Economic Development Research and Policy Committee
Publication date: 2005-09-23
| Complete listing and access info | Download
This report presents fiscally responsible recommendations for overhauling the federal tax system and raising the revenues needed to combat mounting federal budget deficits and the fiscal demands presented by an aging society. The proposal calls for a new hybrid federal tax system featuring a phased-in 10 percent Value-Added Tax (VAT) to supplement a reformed and streamlined federal income tax. The report also provides guidance for eliminating, reducing and consolidating special tax preferences. In addition, the report calls for the elimination of the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) and reform of the Estate Tax. Complete listing and access info » |

Cracks in the Education Pipeline: A Business Leader's Guide to Higher Education Reform
Author/Creator: Committee for Economic Development
Publication date: 2005-05-31
| Complete listing and access info | Download
This report builds on the findings of Measuring Up 2004: The National Report Card on Higher Education, published by the National Center for Public Policy and Higher Education. Cracks in the Education Pipeline presents a forceful argument for a renewed commitment to higher education. The report discusses trends in college preparation, participation, completion, affordability, and benefits, and provides action steps that business leaders can take to help launch change in their own states and at the national level.
The new report arrives at a critical time, as economic and demographic changes exert new pressures on today's workforce. New job growth favors high-skill workers, and the impending retirement of the baby boom generation will lead to a workforce that comes increasingly from populations that have traditionally been less likely to attend college.

The Emerging Budget Crisis: Urgent Fiscal Choices
Author/Creator: Committee for Economic Development Research and Policy Committee
Publication date: 2005-05-04
| Complete listing and access info | Download
This report presents a sober examination of the large, long-term federal budget deficits facing the United States. The report also strongly warns that, with the retirement of the baby-boom generation a few short years away, policymakers can afford to wait no longer to make the difficult decisions necessary to prepare the country for the economic consequences of an aging population. Prudent action is needed now on all budgetary fronts to avoid a financial debacle -- with significant implications for important issues such as taxes, health care, and Social Security.

Fixing Social Security: A CED Policy Update
Author/Creator: Committee for Economic Development Research and Policy Committee
Publication date: 2005-05-03
| Complete listing and access info | Download
This report presents CED's plan for strengthening and modernizing the Social Security system. The plan acknowledges that some changes must be made to Social Security to prepare it for the challenges that lie ahead, and to make it more attractive to a new generation of workers; but CED also recognizes that the essential safety net provided by Social Security must be preserved. CED recommends creating a two-tier system that would both restore the fiscal solvency of Social Security and convince young contributors who perceive a low and diminishing return on their contributions that Social Security will provide a meaningful benefit to them. The first tier would return the current basic system to long-term fiscal solvency through relatively modest adjustments. The second tier would "add-on" a new system of individually controlled personal retirement accounts to increase the rate of return for younger workers. Complete listing and access info » |

Building on Reform: A Business Proposal to Strengthen Campaign Finance
Author/Creator: Committee for Economic Development Research and Policy Committee
Publication date: 2005-04-15
| Complete listing and access info | Download
In this report that follows the 1999 report Investing in the People's Business, CED makes three categories of recommendations: FEC reform, strengthening the soft-money ban by closing the so-called '527 committee" loophole, and strengthening the presidential public funding system in both the primary and general election. These reforms are vital if we are to fashion a campaign finance system that protects free speech, encourages debate, and elects candidates based on ideas, not dollars.
The subcommittee that oversaw this project was co-chaired by Edward A. Kangas, Chairman, Global Board of Directors, Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu, and George Rupp, President, Columbia University. Professor Anthony Corrado of Colby College served as project director.
