The Bipartisan Policy Center (BPC) hosted a live Twitter Q&A featuring Steve Bell, senior director of BPC's Economic Policy Project. Bell fielded questions on emerging economic trends, the looming sequester, and legislation passed last week in the House that would reshape BPC's debt limit "X Date" projection.

Bell served on the staff of former Senator Pete Domenici (R-NM) from 1974 to 1986 and then again from 1996 to 2009. He was staff director of the Senate Budget Committee from 1981 until 1986.
