ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

JOBS, INFRASTRUCTURE, SUSTAINABILITY

  • Invest in public infrastructure for jobs, safety, and the general advancement of the country.


  • Support small business entrepreneurship much more robustly.


  • Provide governmental support only to sustainable economic development projects.


  • Advance renewable energy research and development, and subsidize its wide adoption.


  • Encourage the creation of more worker-owned cooperatives and labor-employer works councils.


  • Acknowledge that our political and economic system has left behind vast swaths of the country, including disproportionately high numbers of people of color, and begin moving the country to a universal basic income (UBI).

  • Fight outsourcing and close tax loopholes that encourage corporations to keep operations and money overseas.

  • Use the legislative process to restore Net Neutrality, because a free internet has been the biggest driver of economic development in history, and the end of Net Neutrality means the end of online freedom.

  • Establish fair trade deals with countries around the world, using trade policy to preserve jobs in the U.S. and improve working conditions and environmental practices abroad.
