QUESTIONS ABOUND IN FED DEBT-CEILING 'SOLUTION'

posted by Michael Chihak

Questions about the effects of the federal action on the deficit and debt ceiling will be posed on Friday's Arizona Week to economists and financial experts in Arizona.

Here's some of what we plan to ask:

• How will spending reductions affect Arizona's economy?

• Will there be an impact on state social services?

• The deal eventually could include defense spending cuts. Could they affect Arizona military installations and defense contractors?

• Will federal spending reductions mean governmental agency layoffs? If so, how will they affect the jo market in Arizona?

• How dependent is Arizona's economy and job market on what happens ast the federal level?

Watch Friday for answers to these questions and more.
