Bruce Bartlett is one of the most influential writers in Washington today. His book, Impostor: How George W. Bush Bankrupted America and Betrayed the Reagan Legacy (2006), garnered national attention months before publication. Distributed through Creators Syndicate, his weekly column is the most widely read on economics by policymakers at the White House and in Congress. In fact, Bartlett's columns are a "must read" for anyone interested in economic policy.

Bartlett's weekly column appears regularly in the Washington Times, Investor's Business Daily, Indianapolis Star and other newspapers, and on such well-read websites as NationalReview.com, RealClearPolitics.com and Townhall.com. His articles also often appear in the Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Los Angeles Times, USA Today, Fortune, Commentary and other major publications. Says radio broadcaster Rush Limbaugh, "You know that feeling you get when you learn something that 'turns the light on?' That's how you will react to every Bruce Bartlett column."

Bruce's analysis is always cutting edge, frequently breaking news about tax policy and other economic issues long before they come to the attention of beat reporters. That is why he is so frequently quoted in the Washington Post, New York Times, Wall Street Journal and other elite publications. It is why he is a frequent guest on The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer, NBC Nightly News, Nightline, Crossfire, Moneyline, Nightly Business Report, Wall Street Week, CNN, CNBC, the Fox News Channel, MSNBC and other news programs.

Bartlett's influence among policymakers was recently acknowledged by International Economy magazine, which did a study of the most important think tank scholars in the United States. He ranked number 9 on the list in 2004.

As R. Glenn Hubbard, former chairman of President George W. Bush's Council of Economic Advisers (2001-2003), has said: "Bartlett's insightful and thought-provoking analyses of tax issues and the economic outlook are always in time for White House discussions and decisions. His work is read - and used in arguments - by almost everyone involved in economic policy in the administration." Even Democratic strategist James Carville acknowledges Bartlett's influence, declaring that "He's an influential ideas man in the Bush administration".
