Congress Can Balance the Budget and Slash Debt

November 12, 2013 By Richard C. Young

Downsizing-the-GovHere Cato Institute scholars give Congress the required battle plan. Heading the list, quite correctly, is repeal of the job killing fraud that is Obamacare.

We face another budget crisis and possible government shutdown as early as January, unless Congress can come together on a bipartisan basis to cut spending.

The Affordable Care Act is far from the only program that should be repealed. Both Democrats and Republicans must be willing to cut programs that are championed by special interests in their parties. There can be no more “sacred cows.”

Policy experts at the Cato Institute have put together a plan that balances the budget and reduces our dangerously high debt burden by cutting more than $3 trillion over 10 years. It builds on good ideas from both liberals and conservatives to expand individual freedom and reduce the burden of government.
