Center for economic law. It is my pleasure to introduce our lunch speaker, kevin hassett. Many of you may know kevin. He is currently chairman of the council of economic advisers and before that, was a senior ekeehn mist. Held the james q. Wilson chair m American Culture and politics at the American Enterprise institute. Aei, where he was one of the leading thinkers there. And before joining aei, kevin was senior economist at Federal Reserve board. Now any of you who know kevin or have seen him speak know he is a clear thinker, a straight talker, and says what he thinks. And he is, i think, serving the administration, the country extraordinarily well. The format were going to used to is question and answer. I will lead off with a question or two for kevin. And he has been kind enough to be willing to accept questions from the audience. He has hard stop at 1 30. Lets keep that in mind. Lets have a round of place for our panelists this morning, first.
