John Stossel on the Hill
A three-part Capitol Hill series featuring the ABC News documentaries of John Stossel with commentary by Cato Institute scholars.

"John Stossel Goes to Washington"

CAPITOL HILL BRIEFING
Friday, August 24, 2007
12:00 PM

With comments by Stephen Slivinski, Director of Budget Studies, Cato Institute.

B-354 Rayburn House Office Building

(This event was an airing of the video "John Stossel Goes to Washington." For more information about John Stossel's documentaries see http://abcnews.go.com/2020/Stossel/.)

John Stossel uncovers governmental waste, incompetence, and abuse of power. Stossel starts by taking a look at taxes and learns that "we Americans pay more in taxes than we do in food, clothing, and shelter combined." So what does the government do with all this money? Stossel's investigation finds that the government can't even keep track of much of the money let alone spend it properly. And he finds that much of what government does do, it does poorly.
