The US government must not go into default and cause a completely unnecessary economic catastrophe. We work to spread ideas for cost savings that protect Americans from the consequences of runaway debt.

We’re looking ahead to 2025, when major tax provisions are set to expire — and we see an opportunity to amplilfy policy that is both good for families (like the bipartisan child tax credit) and good for businesses and economic growth (like the R&D credit).

We see opportunity with both sides to advance occupational and small business licensing requirements — in ways that will benefit communities in need, give individuals greater freedom, and enable greater economic prosperity.

We must modernize and streamline our archaic immigration system, to provide necessary resources for border security, and to ensure America is the winner of the 21st century talent wars — particularly in industries related to science, advanced technology, and national defense.

We have seen giant leaps forward in technology and science over the past few years alone; we think policymaking should spur R&D in critical domains for America — like vaccine development, cures for disease, learning and education, environmental conservation, and more.

It is in America’s best interest to advance permitting reform measures in the coming months and years. In doing so, we can increase our nation’s energy security, decrease our reliance on foreign energy, reduce energy costs, and make serious progress to address climate change.

We aim to expand the broad consensus that the reality of climate change and the importance of conservation of our environment is of paramount importance. Natural climate solutions, wildlife protections, conservation measures, transmission, and permitting reform can all contribute towards our national efforts to reduce carbon emissions.

The drought in the Colorado River Basin continues to get worse by the month — bringing a water crisis that will impact tens of millions of Americans and hurt our economy and our country.

Conducting our elections relies upon tens of thousands of election workers all across the country — whose work is not often celebrated and whose names are not known. These critical “frontline workers of democracy” need both protection and resources necessary to do their jobs. Those resources will strengthen the machinery of our democracy and help continue to build trust in our elections.

We recognize that we as a nation were severely unprepared for COVID-19, and we want to strengthen our defenses for a future pandemic or bioweapon, or other catastrophic risks. We know this is one of the “highest return” investments we can make as a country — to prevent disasters before they spread, instead of paying the costs of recovery afterward.
