Dive deep into federal government finances with the Cato Institute’s fiscal scholars over a luncheon to shed light on the state of U.S. fiscal policy and the outlook for spending, taxing, and debt growth.

We’ll cover the most recent Congressional Budget Office projections and provide analysis of President Biden’s Fiscal Year 2024 budget proposals in light of the impending debt limit. We’ll discuss the upcoming expiration of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and why tax increases are not a sustainable way to address our fiscal crisis. From the basics of federal budgeting to solutions for some of the thorniest issues that Congress will confront this year, ask us all your questions at this participatory Q&A‑style discussion.

Please join us at noon on Tuesday, March 14, in Rayburn House Office Building Room 2045 for this free-flowing, off-the-record* conversation.
