American families continue to face rising costs for essentials such as housing, health care, energy, childcare, and groceries. While policymakers often disagree on the causes and solutions, bipartisan interest is growing to address the structural barriers that make everyday life more expensive.

Join the Cato Institute for a conversation with Problem Solvers Caucus Co-Chairs Reps. Brian Fitzpatrick (R‑PA) and Tom Suozzi (D‑NY), who recently introduced the caucus’ Bipartisan Affordability Agenda. The agenda outlines a range of proposals intended to reduce the cost of living while addressing the underlying drivers of rising prices.

The discussion will explore the Bipartisan Affordability Agenda alongside the ideas presented in The Cato Institute Handbook on Affordability, which argues that lasting affordability comes from expanding economic freedom, removing unnecessary regulatory barriers, and increasing competition.
