Romina Boccia is the director of budget and entitlement policy at the Cato Institute, where she writes about government spending, the debt problem, and entitlement reform. She also has a Substack called the Debt Dispatch that you can subscribe to here. Romina joins the podcast to discuss available paths to deal with the coming entitlement crisis. One potential way to get politicians out of making tough choices is to create a debt commission that takes responsibility for unpopular reforms. Romina has written about using the model of the BRAC commission, which was relied on to close down military bases at the end of the Cold War.The conversation also touches on the politics of debt, how policymakers are thinking about these issues, Paul Ryan as an unappreciated hero of our time, and much more. Near the end, Romina reflects on her career as a DC policy-wonk, and why she is motivated to help ensure that America continues to be the land of opportunity. If we don't get entitlements under control, it could potentially degrade our entire way of life. For more discussion on this topic and the difficult choices our leaders will soon be facing, see the previous CSPI podcast with Brian Riedl.

Congress is looking to pass President Joe Biden's $106 billion emergency aid package. Also in the mix is another $56 billion domestic emergency funding request. In total, if everything passes, Congress will spend $162 billion on "emergencies." Romina Boccia from the Cato Institute says labeling everything as an emergency to get past spending caps placed on Congress is fiscally irresponsible.

This week on Facing the Future, we talk to Romina Boccia, Director of Budget and Entitlement Policy for the CATO Institute. Boccia argues in a recent piece that it is time for a new bipartisan commission to take a broad look at the serious fiscal challenges the federal government faces and propose some solutions that would become law directly unless Congress opts out of any of the proposals. This would include everything from how to reduce massive government healthcare spending to raising new revenue and reforming Social Security and Medicare. This idea of a commission has been tried in the past, but often Congress fails to implement any of the reasonable and well thought out reforms. Could this time perhaps be different?

Today, lawmakers on the hill are debating the House GOP's debt ceiling proposal. Senator Chuck Schumer says it's dead on arrival. But Romina Boccia from the CATO Institute says the bill is a good starting point for lawmakers to make a dent in our ballooning debt. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Millennials have good reason to be concerned about the nation's lack of fiscal responsibility. So, what budget reforms can they get behind so that they're not bearing the brunt of the fed's overspending? Romina Boccia from CATO says reforms to Medicare, Social Security, and the SALT tax would be a good place to start. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

During President Biden's recent State of the Union, he got all of Congress to agree that they would not pursue cuts to Medicare and Social Security. However, that can't be the end of the story. If we do nothing, these programs will go bankrupt. So, what is Congress doing? Romina Boccia from CATO says there's a proposed commission centered on a bipartisan bill that could succeed. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Romina breaks down what everyone needs to know about the federal budget and why it continues to grow unabated. We’re setting records for budget deficits and the national debt.

Inquiring gamer minds need to know. President Trump hosts the World Series champion Washington Nationals at the White House and awkwardly embraces a MAGA hat-wearing Kurt Suzuki. People lose their minds. Rinse, repeat. And finally, Joe and Eric spent roughly 24 hours trapped mostly in the Denver airport last week.
