Extreme weather is hurting the economy, people and the environment. We need to stabilize the climate by transitioning to clean energy in ways that improve the economy for all.

Federal spending has been rising much faster than revenue. If the debt keeps growing as a share of our country’s total output, we will eventually need to make big cuts in critical programs and/or boost taxes to levels that could crush the economy. To have a brighter future, we need to raise revenue, invest in education and research, while spending money in other areas more efficiently.

Medicare and Medicaid are a rapidly growing share of the Federal budget and boosting the national debt to unsustainable levels. We need to make healthcare more effective and less costly.
