Collender gave a post-election talk titled “The Morning After the Morning After: Outlook for the Budget,” and shared his views on the election.
Collender is managing director at Qorvis Communications in Washington, D.C., and is a frequent speaker on the budget and the economy.He indicated that in the current economic environment efforts to control federal budget deficits are likely to take a back seat to federal policymakers’ efforts to restore financial stability and economic growth.
