Gene is one of the leading tax and budget economists in Washington, having had a distinguished career at the Treasury Department and several leading think tanks. He does in depth analysis unlike anyone else. It's worth subscribing to his substack blog.

Suppose we just got rid of this thorny democratic process of reforming Social Security and appointed one person to handle the job. My nominee for the position of "Social Security Czar" is Gene Steuerle of the Urban Institute. To see why, go to [H]is recent testimony before the House Ways and Means Committee… Let's just call it an instant classic.

“Gene Steuerle brings both enormous experience and great wisdom in thinking about the Federal budget. . . . Anyone concerned with our economic future should carefully consider Steuerle’s arguments.”

“Gene cuts through the gridlock of present arguments to provide a vision for meeting the present and future challenges of governance. This is the most original and thoughtful fiscal policy work in a very long time.”

–Stanford G. Ross, former Social Security Commissioner & Public Trustee, White House & Treasury official

“Unless public opinion shifts, the budget stalemate will persist. But being brutally honest in defining a new social contract, people like Steuerle might make it easier for practical politicians to do what, up until now, has been impractical.”
