Gordon Gray
Gordon Gray is a Washington economic policy hand who turned a decade of budget-table fluency into his own shop. He launched the nonpartisan Pinpoint Policy Institute as its executive director after more than ten years as vice president for economic policy at the American Action Forum. A veteran of Senate offices and two presidential-cycle campaigns, he translates federal budgets, tax law, and macroeconomic forecasts into testimony before Congress and commentary across The Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg TV, CNBC, NPR, and Fox Business.
Joseph Antos
Joseph Antos is one of Washington's most-quoted health economists, the Wilson H. Taylor Scholar in Health Care and Retirement Policy and a senior fellow emeritus at the American Enterprise Institute. A University of Rochester PhD who started as a Cornell math major, he spent decades inside the federal machinery - the Congressional Budget Office, the Council of Economic Advisers, OMB, the Department of Labor and HHS - before becoming AEI's go-to voice on Medicare, the federal budget, and market-based reform. He has advised the World Bank and foreign governments, served terms regulating hospital rates in Maryland, and teaches at George Washington University.
Marc Goldwein
Marc Goldwein is the Senior Vice President and Senior Policy Director at the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget (CRFB), where he has become Washington's most-quoted referee of how much the federal government can afford. A two-degree Johns Hopkins economist who once ran track for the Blue Jays, he helped staff the Simpson-Bowles Fiscal Commission and the 2011 'Super Committee,' teaches economics on the side, and now spends his days scoring the price tag of nearly every major bill and campaign promise. He talks fast, deploys statistics faster, and has made a career of telling both parties the same unwelcome thing: the math does not add up.
