How will budget cuts determine the U.S. economic future?

On the next Your Call, we'll have a conversation about the debt limit deal, which will raise the debt ceiling by at least 2.1 trillion dollars and entail cuts of 2.5 trillion dollars in two rounds, and no tax hikes for the rich. Where will these cuts come from? Join us live at 10 or send us an email at feedback@yourcallradio.org. How are you making sense of the budget and what we're facing? And what is it going to take to fix the U.S. economy? It's Your Call, with Rose Aguilar and you.

Guests:
Andrew Fieldhouse, Federal Budget Policy Analyst at Economic Policy Institute

James Galbraith, an economist and the Lloyd M. Bentsen Jr. chair in government and business relations at the University of Texas at Austin
