| Collapse all
- In our strong economy of the past few years, the wealth and opportunity gap just grew larger. When we should have been strengthening our country's financial position, Washington delivered record deficits. Instead of ensuring a livable wage for everyone, our government cut taxes for the wealthy. And now millions of our fellow Americans face the prospect of being out of work for many months. We're going to have to increase our deficit even further in the short term and ask more of our wealthiest citizens to help dig us out of this hole. We need to look beyond this pandemic and solve the fundamental issue: our government has not prepared itself or us for the technology revolution.
- We need to build the infrastructure, such as affordable housing and public transit, that makes strong job markets more accessible. We need to invest in new technologies to halt and reverse climate change. But most importantly, we need to invest in our fellow citizens.
- We should raise the minimum wage to $15 per hour and build a realistic plan for its continued increase to a livable wage over time. And today's economic crisis creates an opportunity for us to radically revamp our educational system, ensuring that our children - and our adults - have the technical and science skills required for 21st century jobs. With collaboration and creativity, we can make opportunity and social mobility accessible to all.
