We must save Social Security and make it better than ever. It is the quickest, easiest thing that the next Congress can do to immediately help everyone in the country. I have strong reasons for believing that it does truly help everyone. The younger you are, the more important this issue should be to you.
We must begin the hard work of transforming our healthcare system into an affordable, quality healthcare system for all. We need to make the transformation smooth and make sure no one loses their livelihood due to the transformation. But every American should be covered fully, and it should not depend on whether a person’s particular employer can afford to provide benefits or not.
Education must be a priority for America. Good public education is not a cost to society, it is a perpetual economic stimulus, in addition to being the noblest of all human endeavors. By fully funding public education we, as a national community, are purchasing a better world for us all. The education is not for the student alone; it is for everyone. We all benefit.
