The Next Administration

The next president of the United States will need to tackle four critical issues:

1. Global Climate Change, an existential threat that gets more severe with each passing year.

2. Rebuild the domestic manufacturing base. Launch a WWII-level effort to build the infrastructure for a post-carbon economy. The deterioration of household income has been cancer on society.

3. Work toward a healthcare plan that covers all citizens without exception. The “too risky to be profitable” model serves the interests of corporations, not patients or doctors. 

4. Re-establish the USA’s credibility as a strategic ally and trading partner. It will take commitment to undo the damage, but we can make progress by leading on strategic global initiatives.
