WHY?

Americans are hurting. Working families face the loss of jobs, homes, and health care. As the economic cost crunch deepens, everything seems to cost more — from filling one’s tank at the gas station to putting food on the table. Students are finding it harder to pay for college and college graduates are struggling to find jobs. But there are no quick fixes to the challenges that confront our country. Tough times call for robust solutions.
They call for a Next New Deal.

WHAT?

USAction/TrueMajority.org has laid out a plan called Invest in America’s Future. This is our Next New Deal.

The plan:

• Guarantees quality, affordable health care for all
• Expands access to education, from early childhood through college
• Develops a clean energy economy and frees us from dependence on fossil fuels and foreign oil
