Today, Taxpayers for Common Sense participated in a discussion on “Making Environmental and Fiscal Responsibility a Priority.”

TCS was joined by Ben Schreiber, Friends of the Earth (FOE) and Kai Schlegelmilch, Green Budget Germany. The event was hosted by the Heinrich Boell Stiftung group who released “Greening the Budget: Pricing Carbon and Cutting Energy Subsidies to reduce the financial deficit in Germany”.  – – Sound somewhat familiar?

TCS, FOE and Green Budget Germany discussed ways to make environmental and fiscal responsibility a priority.  All speakers were in sound agreement that these reports present a path to help curtail massive deficits faced by both Germany and the United States, while also preserving the environment.
