On a regular basis, Andy consults with the staffs from the US Treasury, Congress, and the White House on economic and market issues.

Liberty Happy Hour – This Friday!

Libertarian Meetups > The Chicago Libertarian Party Meetup Group

America’s Future Foundation – Chicago is hosting their first event in 2009 on Wednesday, January 21st.

This roundtable will focus on a subject everyone is talking about – the U.S. and world economy, with a panel including Prof. Todd Henderson, Gus Makris, Alex Markis and Phil Wilhelm.

This esteemed panel will give insight to questions such as: Are there any free markets left in the United States? What kind of free market policies can we expect from an Obama administration? Was President Bush wise in announcing that he had to "sacrifice free market principles to save the economy from collapse?" What about these middle class tax cuts? What about the $700 billion bailout? Often cited as a supporter of redistributionist ideals, will our economy emerge from an Obama administration more or less "free market?" Having the legal and financial wherewithal to guide our guests through these and many more questions, this is certainly a don’t miss panel of speakers.

Be sure to bring your friends for cocktails, appetizers, door prizes, networking and great conversation, and to find out more about how to get involved with this exciting group of young libertarian and conservative professionals in Chicago.

The roundtable will take place at Sullivan’s Steakhouse with a reception beginning at 6pm. The panel will start their debate and discussion at 6:30. You may RSVP by sending an email to tim@americasfuture.org.
