The economy. Health care. Education. Social security. Iraq. The 111th Congress is being asked to find answers to the issues most important to the American people. And they are being asked to do it in a bipartisan manner. American University experts can provide insight on the task at hand for Congress, the policy decisions ahead, and the politics behind the policy.
