Opening General Session
The opening session—“The Impact of the Trump Administration’s Policies on Economic Growth: A Debate”—spotlighted two high-profile influential figures, former U.S. House Speaker Newt Gingrich and former Treasury Secretary Lawrence H. Summers. They offered divergent opinions on the current political environment and its effect on healthcare and taxes. Gingrich is optimistic that tax reform, or more likely a cut, will be enacted. Summers doesn’t foresee major reforms. They agreed partisanship will likely continue, though there are areas where both Republicans and Democrats can legislate together.
