Roundtable Session
Matt Miller talks about his "2% Solution" to fixing some of America’s most difficult challenges, like health care and education.
Speaker: Matt Miller, Author, Columnist, Radio Host & Consultant
Summary:
As the partisan food fights in Washington continue, Matt Miller — Fortune columnist, public radio host and author of The 2% Solution: Fixing America′s Problems In Ways Liberals And Conservatives Can Love — argued that for two cents on the national dollar we can insure the 44 million uninsured, subsidize a living minimum wage of $9 to $10 an hour, make the best teachers of poor children millionaires over their careers, and more. He also said we can reach these "liberal" goals through "conservative" means — and when the dust clears government would be smaller than it was when Ronald Reagan was president. Too good to be true — or just what America needs?
