Washington's One-Sided Spending Culture

Government overspending is often attributed to politicians simply rewarding special interests in return for campaign donations, but according to a new study released today by the Cato Institute, the real problem is the profoundly irrational system Congress uses to decide how much to spend. In "Budgeting in Neverland: Irrational Policymaking in the U.S. Congress and What Can Be Done about It," political science professor James L. Payne argues that Washington overspends because Congress only hears pro-spending views and ignores competing views.

n response to growing concern over the quality of medical care in the U.S., Medicare is experimenting with "pay-for-performance" (P4P), a financial incentive that rewards health care providers for recommended care. In "Pay-for-Performance: Is Medicare a Good Candidate?," a new Cato Institute working paper to be published in the Yale Journal of Health Policy Law & Ethics, Cato scholar Michael Cannon warns policymakers to take a cautious approach to P4P, especially when applying it to Medicare. According to Cannon, Congress can harness the potential of provider-focused P4P incentives while reducing the likelihood of harm by confining P4P to private Medicare Advantage plans and by encouraging greater participation in those plans.
