John Goodman, Ph.D. of the Goodman Institute joins Benjamin Rush Institute to talk about social protections that better empower and serve the nation’s families, harmonize individual and societal interests, foster personal responsibility and government accountability, bridge the partisan divide over social spending—and eliminate the risk that America’s safety-net expenditures will drive the U.S. economy over a fiscal cliff on Thursday, December 3 at 2pm ET. Register NOW.

He has authored numerous editorials in The Wall Street Journal, USA Today, Investor’s Business Daily, Los Angeles Times, and many others.
