Bob Greenstein is a much-celebrated federal budget expert. A recipient of many prestigious awards, including in 2008 the Heinz Award for Public Policy for his work to "improve the economic outlook of many of America's poorer citizens," he will provide an overview of the Obama budget and the short- and long-term challenges in working to meet the needs of low-income people and restore the nation's economic health.

Deborah Weinstein has tracked human needs spending at the state and federal levels for 30 years. Each year she helps advocates and policy-makers to understand the impact of budgets on low-income people, why it matters for our nation's future, and effective actions advocates can take.

1. I registered and look forward to watching this presentation. Thanks for posting.

2. Ok, I swore I would never do this, but WHY on earth would someone unrecommend?

I know... I feel my hypocrisy for asking, because I really don't like it when people do this...

But I can't figure it out for the life of me, and it seems sort of surreal.

Why in the world would someone unrecommended and invitation to hear policy experts breakdown the federal budget piece by piece? Especially when its sponsored by an org. like the Coalition on Human Needs?

Boggles my mind.

4. People get confused and click on the wrong thing. I've done it.

I don't like the unrecommend function. Some of us are really bunglers about these things.

It's generational for me. I have worked with computers a lot, but still, computer-think requires a certain brain wiring that my generation doesn't have. We can figure it out and learn it, but it does not come naturally.

3. Delete. I got through but it took a bit of time.
