Why the Tournament of Government Waste matters:
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.
What These Senators Are Doing About It:
Former Senator Tom Coburn – In the Digital Age, Sunshine Week Should Never End
Senator Jeff Flake – Senator Sets Sights On Tax Loopholes, Transparency
Senator James Lankford – Do Taxpayers Have a Right to Know How Their Money is Being Spent?
Senator Rand Paul – Sen. Paul’s Bill to Evaluate Zombie Programs Could Have Stopped Waste Before It Happened
