Synopsis

A "Frontline" special examining the difficult economic choices that the next president wil have to face upon taking office. The program focuses on four communities across the U.S. that have not shared in the prosperity of the Reagan years. Through a series of interviews, the "Shadow Debate" is explored -- a non-public but increasingly intense argument concerning what the next president must do to avoid economic disaster, how and when he should do it, and who will be asked to bear the burden.
