|
Budget & Economy Shift from large-scale production to continuous innovation. Give $60,000, for college or business, to kids reaching 18. |
|
Civil Rights Greatest threat to free speech: pandering to consumerism. Gender discrimination has yet to be wrung out of society. Social reform should include faith-based institutions. |
|
Corporations Under Clinton, executive pay ratio rose from 40:1 to 400:1. |
|
Education School districts are self-sorting, whether public or private. Variable vouchers to avoid self-sorting mechanisms. |
|
Families & Children Marriage declined in the 1970s because wages stagnated. Crisis of illegitimacy is a misleading half-truth. Definition of family is changing because people want it. Make child care a fully tax-deductible business expense. |
|
Free Trade Isolationists & xenophobes misguided on trade & immigration. |
|
Government Reform Money corrupts politics subtly. |
|
Health Care Medical savings account are rational but leave vulnerable. |
|
Jobs US jobs issue is low earnings, not high unemployment. Corporate ruthlessness comes from competition, not greed. Establish "earnings insurance" to smooth out unemployment. |
|

|
Technology Age of the Terrific Deal is replacing Age of Mass Production. Tech is great for consumers but hard on our personal lives. Consumers benefit from standards; but not Microsoft monopoly. |
|
Welfare & Poverty Welfare's work rules are based on Protestant work ethic. 1996 welfare reform didn't lift working moms out of poverty. Poor who won housing lottery had improved family results. Housing vouchers for poor families; push inclusionary zoning. Make mixed communities a goal of faith-based institutions. |
