Attention Liberty-Minded Students in the DC Area! Ready for a realistic case for downsizing government?
Friday, October 23, 4-5pm at the Cato Institute: The DC Forum For Freedom Presents Dan Mitchell!
The federal budget has more than doubled since Bill Clinton left office, climbing to more than $4 trillion. In that time, the share of the economy consumed by government spending has jumped from 18.5 percent of gross domestic product to about 25 percent of economic output. Even more troubling, demographic changes and entitlement programs will combine to push federal spending far higher in the next few decades, turning America into a European-style welfare state. Should these developments be a cause for concern? Dan Mitchell will present the theoretical and empirical case for a radical downsizing of the size and scope of the public sector.
The DC Forum For Freedom invites all of you for its second monthly event at Cato! The DCFF is a coalition of pro-liberty student groups around the DC area. All students and friends of liberty in DC are welcome to attend this lecture! It’s an opportunity to chat with Cato scholars and socialize with the libertarian students from the area!
