Welcome to Pursuit’s Tournament of Government Waste!

Thank you to Senator Rand Paul, Senator Jeff Flake, Senator James Lankford, former Senator Tom Coburn, and all who participated in this year’s tournament.

Why the Tournament of Government Waste matters:

× Follow us on Facebook and never miss a story.

Our country is in serious fiscal trouble. Our national debt is over $20 trillion, we have over $100 trillion in unfunded liabilities and hundreds of failing and duplicative government programs that will burden future generations.

However, there is a way forward. Building consensus on areas like waste, fraud, and duplication can be a great starting point for bigger reforms.

Not only is this tournament fun and informative, but also promotes conversation on what our country’s priorities should be.
