TPA Releases 2021 Issue Briefs: Roadmap to Fiscal Sanity for the 117th Congress

Today, the Taxpayers Protection Alliance (TPA) released a series of issue briefs for the 117th Congress titled Roadmap to Fiscal Sanity. The publication provides detailed policy background on seventeen issue areas and outlines policy recommendations for lawmakers to use as a reference for the country to recover from the pandemic in a fiscally responsible manner. 

TPA President, David Williams, offered the following statement:

“The coronavirus pandemic has had and will continue to have a profound long-term impact on the economy and society. Even if lawmakers can agree on the need for further coronavirus-related relief, members of Congress fervently disagree about the best way to get struggling Americans back on their feet. And, while all Americans celebrate the creation of multiple vaccines to finally end the deadly disease, questions remain about how best to distribute these vaccines and reform the Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) antiquated review and approval processes. From antitrust to reforming the United States Postal Service, this publication is a sensible and detailed way to bring back fiscal sanity with specific recommendations.”

In conclusion, Williams stated:

“Many lawmakers will find these recommendations too difficult to undertake. But across these policy areas, doing nothing is far riskier for the American people over the long term. We urge every member of Congress to read these recommendations and use them as a resource for sound fiscal governance.”
