President Obama Should Fulfill His Promise to Eliminate Needless Programs

I”m biased, of course, but I’m very proud of the Cato Institute for its principled defense of individual liberty and limited government. Cato stood up against the so-called stimulus when others were quiet. Cato was against Obamacare, even back when it was called Romneycare. Now, we’re leading the fight on restraining Leviathan. The image below is our new full page ad on cutting wasteful programs, agencies, and departments – and asking Obama to fulfill his promise on reducing needless spending.

Last but not least, here’s an encore performance of a Center for Freedom and Prosperity video that looks at the empirical evidence for smaller government.
