# The Libertarian State of the Union: Privacy and Surveillance 

Watch the full event: [https://​www​.cato​.org/​e​v​e​n​t​s​/​l​i​b​e​r​t​a​r​i​a​n​-​s​t​a​t​e​-​u​n​i​o​n​-2014](https://www.cato.org/events/libertarian-state-union-2014)

After a year dominated by budget battles, the NSA spying scandal, and the meltdown of Obamacare, the libertarian message is more relevant than ever to federal policy debates. Cato scholars discuss the current state of the union in relation to fiscal policy, health care, high-profile Supreme Court cases, and the use and abuse of executive power.
