Invest in America’s Future
“At a time that President Bush is spending up to $11 billion a month in Iraq, and sometimes more, he is ignoring an economy right here at home” said Rep. Lynn Woolsey (D-Calif.) at a news conference to release a new economic agenda from USAction. Woolsey and other representatives gathered to discuss what they called failed economic policies from the Bush administration, and looked forward to new policies reflecting USAction’s agenda they have named ‘Invest in America’s Future’.
William McNary, President of USAction stated that among other things, the program’s agenda emphasized reform for healthcare, education and energy policy in order to create a future for America’s working class that that provides equal opportunity and is prosperous. In addition, McNary stated that the program would be beneficial to all Americans, including business, and referred to his organization’s plan as the next ‘New Deal’.
According to USAction’s program director Alan Charney, when a poll was taken by Americans in swing-voting states, 69 percent of respondents said they approved of the ‘Invest in America’s Future” agenda. McNary closed by stating that Congress can no longer afford to continue patchwork policies, but should turn its attention to a comprehensive reform policy in 2009 that reflects his program’s agenda.
