Economy

The economy continues to dominate the media highlighting areas of financial downturn, offering some examples of hopeful changes and commentaries on the proposed budgets. The leaders of the historic G-20 Summit in London also promised to address global concerns related to the economy. The JPIC office particularly monitors the effects legislative actions could have on the poor and the vulnerable in the U.S. and around the globe.
