Of course, getting anything passed through Congress is difficult, but some reforms have a much better chance of getting passed than other reforms. They are the “low-hanging fruit.”

Congress has a chance, often with bipartisan support, to pass these reforms that would help promote economic growth, empower individuals and reduce government waste.

The following should be a helpful checklist for Congress to identify those issues where they can make an immediate difference. To see more details about these reforms, please read the important new report.
