Politics, the US Dollar, and Financial Policy

It’s an election year and everything is political.  Where do our candidates want to take us?  What should we know about the policy debates in Washington and Sacramento and how will we be affected as citizens, lawyers, and financial industry participants?  This session might be controversial.  You might not agree with everything said.  But you will not be bored!
