    Dr. Gene Steuerle, Senior Fellow at the Urban Institute, discussed a new study on how the young and old fare in the federal budget—and explained why the current entitlement system needs to be reformed to keep it from locking in past priorities, constraining the policy choices of future generations, and crowding out progressive and future-oriented spending.
