Teacher Economics: Understanding the Federal Budget, Debt, and Deficits

We’re pleased to announce a new online course based on the FTE’s Professional Teacher Association conference in Washington, D.C. in fall 2019.  As with the Budgets, Debts, and Deficits: Policy and Practice program, the online course will address the following topics:

• the budget process – what it should be and what it is
• the specter of unfunded liabilities
• the debt and deficit – how bad is it?
• transparency in budgeting
• public choice theory and public debt
• what should students know about our debt?
