Join the Cato Institute for a critical congressional lunch briefing on how the 119th Congress, together with President Trump, can take bold steps to streamline federal operations, bring down inflation, and grow the American economy. This briefing will explore how Congress can empower the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), led by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, to succeed by authorizing DOGE as a commission modeled after the highly effective Base Realignment and Closure process, granting it explicit authority to reorganize and reform inefficient government programs and agencies. We’ll also dive into how Congress can use reconciliation to sustainably extend and expand the Trump tax cuts—without triggering inflation, spooking bond markets, or driving up interest rates that could choke off economic growth. Don’t miss this opportunity to discuss a transformative path forward for securing fiscal sustainability and boosting America’s economic potential.

Lunch will be provided.
