We are living through a Great Depression. What can be done to create jobs, to provide living wages, and to provide housing and education for all? We must put working people, including the unemployed and those who can’t fend for themselves first.
The Financial Crisis
Not a penny more for the banks and the bankers! Take over the banks.
Education
Our country must provide quality education free to all from pre-school through Ph.D., from technical schools to life-long learning. Some U.S. states did this in the 1960s and we could do it again by taxing the corporations.
Housing
We must build affordable housing in affordable communities. Red-lining, real estate racial steering, inadequate transportation, and other policies of social segregation have divided our country by race and class while at the same time making housing unaffordable for many. We need quality, affordable housing for all.
Transportation
We must reconstruct our national, state and local transportation systems to serve our goals of full employment and access to jobs, affordable communities, and the building of a green economy. The major transportation systems should be publicly owned, democratically planned and involve workers and consumers in their management to make them more efficient.
