In the economic world, two things in life are certain:  debt & taxes.  But in the 2012 uncertainty looms.

• Where is the U.S. economy headed?  When will unemployment rates drop & inflation rates rise?  What will be done to tackle budget deficits, and when?

• How much will Europe’s debt problems affect their economies, & ours?  What more might the Fed & Washington, DC do to the economy?  What might the economy forecast for Election Day?

These questions and yours will be addressed by acclaimed finance professor Jim Wilcox

Join us on Feb 6th, 2012 in welcoming Jim Wilcox to Seattle
