- Smart Growth and Sustainable Economic Development
-
Urban sprawl is not only hazardous to the environment, but it also hinders economic growth.
- Protecting Social Security, Medicare, and Rights of Seniors
-
We not only need to ensure the long-term solvency of social security and Medicare, but we should also increase benefits for seniors, including prescription drug coverage and assisted homecare.
- Improving Educational Opportunity
-
It is imperative that school funding no longer be contingent on geography (e.g. property taxes). The production of knowledge is a uniquely national issue, and it is critical that educational opportunity be equalized nationwide.
