Studium Generale: Great Decisions with Dr. Lynn Ilon & Roger Wagner
Arts & Culture
Today's presentation is brought to us from the Great Decisions group.
Roger Wagner will discuss the reason for the establishment of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), its role through the decades, and how the Republican Project 2025 affects its authority.
Dr. Ilon will discuss the structure of U.S. taxation, public debt, and their recent significant changes. Shifts in taxation, capital gains, and deficit financing have altered who bears the burden of government revenue and debt. Ilon will examine how federal taxes and borrowing interact, and explore how these shifts have increasingly affected middle- and lower-income Americans.
Studium Generale takes place each Thursday, from 12:35–1:25 pm, in the Little Theater of Peninsula College's Port Angeles Campus, or livestream on Zoom: Meeting ID: 824 2331 6508,
