This week on\u00a0Facing the Future<\/i>, we talk to Romina Boccia,\u00a0Director of Budget and Entitlement Policy<\/a>\u00a0for 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.<\/p>\n

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?<\/p>\n
