Economists and business leaders discuss economic outlook and the national debt
The Bipartisan Policy Center and the National Governors Association co-hosted a symposium examining the national debt and the country's fiscal outlook. Panelists discussed the role of Congress in addressing the national debt. "We are in an age of governance where we have gridlock in Congress," said politics professor John Dinan. "The only way that Congress enacts legislation these days—with the exception of the housing bill—is by enacting reconciliation, continuing resolution or omnibus bills. In that situation, you’re going to have an increase in power to the executive branch."

"Before most Americans step into the voting booth in November, they will already know their choices at the top of the ballot, in races for governor, the Senate and House of Representatives. But a race near the bottom of the ballot—for the chief prosecutor in their local district—will probably affect the voters’ lives more directly," writes law professor Ronald Wright, a former prosecutor and as a scholar of the criminal courts for over three decades.

Regulate polls, not prediction markets
There’s no evidence that betting harms election integrity. Fake surveys have done so this year. "Fake pollsters, unlike prediction markets, have a smoking gun of corrupting elections. They have managed to trick an important newspaper and a leading polling expert into using their phony numbers. The problem could get worse, as malicious actors see the ease and power of using polls to distort elections," write Harry Crane, a professor of statistics at Rutgers University, and Wake Forest economics professor Koleman Strumpf.

Economist Tina Marsh Dalton with Wake Forest University says deals like this can help companies cut costs. “Because the idea is that if you're going to negotiate for prices, the bigger that you are, the more clients you have, or the more enrollees, or the more patients, the more leverage you have in the negotiation," she said.

The latest K-beauty craze is made from dead Americans’ skin. Now it’s aiming for the US.
Each year, tens of thousands of Americans donate bodily tissue upon their deaths, generally by checking a box at a motor vehicle department or through an authorization made by a loved one. People who donate tissue "have no idea of how much money is changing hands in the course of all of this," Ana Iltis, a professor at Wake Forest and former president of the American Society for Bioethics and Humanities, told Business Insider. "With tissue donation, there's a lot of money at stake."
