What will it take to save the American Dream?
(The Heritage Foundation) Saving the American Dream is The Heritage Foundation’s plan to fix the debt, cut spending and, above all, restore prosperity. It balances the nation’s budget within a decade—and keeps it balanced. It reduces the debt and cuts government in half. It eliminates government-mandated health care and fully funds our national defense. It squarely confronts Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid, the three so-called entitlement programs, which together account for 43 percent of federal spending today.
Very similar to Robert Donovan’s Blueprint for Prosperity, which outlines a similar level-headed approach to solving our economic problems. One can only hope that Washington can be level-headed enough to listen.
