Info
Since taking office, President Trump signed sweeping tax cuts, rolled back regulations, and imposed tariffs. At the same time, other campaign promises – Obamacare repeal, infrastructure improvements, and the border wall – remain for the most part unfulfilled.
We cordially invite you to our seminar, “Trumponomics vs. Obamanomics: The View from the States,” on Friday, June 15th, 2018 in Topeka, Kansas from 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., where REMI economic associates Kyle Compton and Harry Walsh will review the roller coaster that was the past 18 months and the role of dynamic economic modeling in clarifying contentious issues going forward.
For this seminar, our economic associates will discuss the record of Trump’s economic policies to date, as well as the future of transportation, the economic effects of tariffs, and the impacts of Amazon’s new headquarters. The seminar will cover best approaches for evaluating policy changes and the latest developments in REMI modeling software.
We’re offering this event free of charge, and lunch will be provided. We do ask that you register in advance. If you would like to attend this event, please email Brian Boyd at brian.boyd@wp.remi.com, contact us by phone at (413) 549-1169, or fill out the registration page for this event.
