FORA.tv Speaker - Stuart Butler

Stuart Butler has been generating ideas for The Heritage Foundation since 1979, when the young British scholar joined the still relatively obscure conservative think tank as a policy analyst specializing in urban issues.

Now as Heritage's Vice President of Domestic and Economic Policy Studies, Butler's ideas continue to change the course of public policy in America. Recently, he has played a large role in the national "Fiscal Wake-Up Tour," in which a group of nonpartisan, ideologically diverse budget realists have been traveling the country to build public support for tackling the growing budget threat posed by the "Big Three" entitlement programs - Medicaid, Medicare and Social Security.
