  Growth Grade B+: Paul Ryan’s Path to Prosperity Plan
Posted Under: Government
Brian Wesbury has been named a Fellow with the George W. Bush Presidential Center.  This is quite an honor. In this role he will act as the growth judge for a new website for the George W. Bush Presidential Center called "4% Growth." As the growth judge he will look at news events and studies through the economic growth lens asking questions like: how does this idea or event stack up in terms of growth it generates? Can it bring growth to 4%, or only 2%? Then he will give it a grade. Here is his most recent growth grade for Paul Ryan's Path to Prosperity Plan.
