BARRY ASMUS
Powering America's Energy Future
As a Senior Economist with the National Center for Policy Analysis, Dr. Barry Asmus has argued for removing laws that restrict the development of domestic energy supplies. By 2020, Barry Asmus estimates that America will consume 125 quads of energy, a 25 percent shortfall from the current supply. France doubled its energy independence by building 57 nuclear power reactors in the last 30 years. The U.S. should do the same. By drilling in Alaska, in America's Outer Continental Shelf, in the Gulf of Mexico, and in states that have huge deposits of shale and coal our dependence on foreign oil would fall dramatically, as would energy prices. Both wind and solar energy will be helpful in the long term, but they are only intermittent sources of future power. Do we want more oil, gas, and electricity or more regulation, taxes, and dependence? The choice is ours.
Healing Health Care in America
How much would you buy if you went shopping with someone else's credit card? Yet, this is how today's health care system works. We are spending everyone’s money except our own. Is it sustainable? No. Can we do something about it?
Yes.
Health Savings Accounts create the necessary incentives for a competitive health care system. A high deductible catastrophic insurance plan would cover the high costs, while an individual health saving account would cover all the smaller charges. Reforming Medicare and Medicaid reimbursements would also allow hospitals to overcome the governmental mandate of free health care, currently at $30 billion annually. Tort reform and limitations on medical liability are necessary to slow down the practice of defensive medicine. Widespread use of electronic medical record keeping is imperative for cost and quality control. Dr. Barry Asmus' presentation offers real world solutions to run-away health care costs.
America’s Economic Future: The Six Unstoppable Trends
Dr. Barry Asmus identifies the "Six Unstoppable Trends" that are impacting America’s business and its economy. The current recession will temporarily slow these trends but not stop them. The Latin word for credit is credere which means "to believe." The deleveraging and economic contraction begun in 2008 could last until 2010. But note this: we have had 13 economic recessions in the last 80 years followed by 13 expansions. Currently, 75 million Baby Boomers are in the high investment and most productive stages of their lives. Confidence will be restored. The end of prosperity? Or, the best yet to come? Dr. Barry Asmus' presents his "Six Unstoppable Trends" and asks you to decide.

Will they feel it? Is there something special about this presentation? Will they act upon it? Will it really make a difference? Exceptionalism is not a one-shot event. It is a process which starts with knowing your audience and then delivering with a complete commitment to the immediacy of the moment."
