National Taxpayers Union (NTU) recently released our 15th annual “No Brainers” list of legislative reforms that can unite lawmakers across the political spectrum.
Here are a few common-sense bills on that list.
Stop Secret Spending Act: Seeks to ensure that taxpayers can understand more about where their hard-earned money is being spent by the federal government by listing and disclosing these contracts on USAspending.gov.
Sustainable Budget Act: Would create a fiscal commission aimed at proposing recommendations designed to improve our long-term fiscal outlook.
The Tax Court Improvement Act: Facilitates a quicker resolution of disputes or settlements by permitting the court to issue third-party subpoenas prior to hearings and pre-trial conferences, with the goal of encouraging settlements.
Trade Review Act: Limits the duration of tariffs unilaterally imposed by the executive branch to 60 days unless Congress passes a joint resolution of approval to extend them.
These bills show there can be wide agreement on effective solutions to various issues when partisan politics are set aside.
And yet there are still some politicians standing in the way…
My name is Al Canata, and I am the Vice President of Strategic Partnerships at National Taxpayers Union. Our mission is to achieve favorable, pro-taxpayer policy outcomes using the most effective team on Capitol Hill and in the states.
National Taxpayers Union is the “Voice of America’s Taxpayers,” and we are using that voice to push for common-sense, fiscally responsible legislation.

For over 55 years, NTU has been the voice of taxpayers in the rooms where decisions are made — from committee hearings on Capitol Hill to statehouse offices across the country.
And because we work with policymakers on both sides of the aisle, we’re able to push forward common-sense, taxpayer-first reforms.
But here’s the truth most people don’t see: Even the simplest, most obvious fixes require constant pressure, disciplined policy work, and relationship-driven advocacy to make it through Congress or a state legislature.
That’s National Taxpayers Union’s specialty.
NTU’s lobbying skills, media savvy, policy expertise, and reputation for advancing pragmatic solutions at the state and federal levels are unrivaled.
We know how to put pressure on lawmakers to support pro-taxpayer policies, like the no-brainers listed above.
