Cato Institute experts are available to discuss the One Big Beautiful Bill Act and the impact of spending on the US budget deficit and national debt.
Our scholars have covered this issue extensively:
- Director of Budget and Entitlement Policy Romina Boccia wrote in reaction to the Moody’s debt downgrade in May: “This isn’t just a warning about long-term debt anymore. It’s a rebuke of a political system that is no longer even pretending to budget responsibly. Adding 25 percent to the national debt on top of a structurally unsound fiscal path is like accelerating toward a cliff and calling it progress.”
- Kilts Family Chair in Fiscal Studies Chris Edwards wrote last month: “Congress Set to Boost Federal Debt $5 Trillion.”
- Director of Tax Policy Studies Adam Michel recently suggested: “Four Things the Senate Can Do to Improve the House Tax Bill.”
- Policy Analyst Dominik Lett recently wrote: “Medicaid Is Driving Deficits: Republicans Are Scarcely Tapping the Brakes.”
