  • President Trump has given executive agencies until June 30 to submit reorganization plans that eliminate fraud and waste. The proposition is highly (or, as Tommy says, "hugely") ambitious, and requires Congressional support; Rachel Greszler, Research Fellow at the Center for Data Analysis, explains how the President can best empower Congress to foster robust restructuring.
  • With healthcare reform on the table, Senior Policy Analyst Drew Gonshorowski breaks down differences between House and Senate bills and suggests that lower premium costs might matter more than lost coverage. Even if the proposed reforms don't go far enough, they push the healthcare system in the right direction. With enough support in the Senate, they could even make it to the President's desk.
