Sequestration: Slowing down the already-slow economic growth?

Nov 1, 2022, 10:58 AM
Florida State College at Jacksonville Professor of Economics Roman Cech, Ph.D., takes the seat opposite First Coast News On Point Host Shannon Ogden, explaining the travails of the USA's economic journey (if that's an accurate term for an essential standstill) as we enter "sequestration" on March 1, 2013.

Aired WJXX, ABC 25, March 3, 2013. Sequestration: What will it do? Can we get out of it, and if so, how? If the public knew the reality of the effects of sequestration, would there be outrage? Are people just tired of hearing about it? Dr. Roman Cech goes in depth, in plain English, to explain what is happening, what we can expect to see and when the next bump in the road--possibly government shutdown?--will appear. This interview lasts 10 minutes, 45 seconds.
