Steven Schier (political science) quoted in Knight Ridder
Steven Schier, the Dorothy H. and Edward C. Congdon professor of Political Science, was quoted in a February 8 Knight Ridder Washington Bureau article titled “Budget deficits threaten political will to tackle other Bush initiatives.” The article explored the difficulties Bush will have passing Social Security reform while the budget deficit is at a record high. “With federal spending out of whack, restructuring Social Security, the biggest spending program, becomes riskier and becomes a tougher sell,” said Schier. The story was picked up by several newspapers across the country.
