Executive Summary

Faced with an unsustainable national debt and an enduringly weak job market, Americans fear for the future of their nation. Concerned that our government is either unwilling or unable to solve our nation’s fiscal problems, concerned voters are learning that we have been chipping away at our economic foundation for decades.

We need a plan. Unfortunately, neither the Democrats nor the Republicans have offered anything substantively new from their anemic economic playbooks. While the Democrats advocate increasing taxes and government spending, the Republicans propose cuts in spending and taxes. Neither has articulated a cohesive plan that reverses the decades old policies responsible for our protracted economic erosion.

We have a plan. The Americans United Party has developed a comprehensive economic roadmap that addresses the root causes of our economic decline and prescribes a remedy that places America back on the path to prosperity. Our slogan - “More Jobs: Less Debt” highlights that our solutions will create private sector jobs and reduce our national debt to sustainable levels. As we achieve these praiseworthy objectives, we also strengthen, simplify and expand our Social Safety-Net.

We need you. Our divided government will not solve our nation’s fiscal problems until our economy falls off a cliff or until the majority of Americans unite behind clear solutions that cross party and ideological lines. The AUP’s solutions demonstrate bold out-of-the-box thinking that appeals to the majority of Americans who take the time to read them. Do not let others tell you what to think! As an American citizen, you are responsible for your nation’s fiscal problems and her solutions. If our solutions make sense to you then please ask your elected representatives to support them. Together, we can get this done. Thank you! 

Economic Goal:
Continuously improve the standard of living of all U.S citizens.

Our fiscal problems are far less complicated then our politicians and special interest groups would have you believe.

Problem 1: Why is our job market so weak?
Reason: Business leaders do not believe investing in U.S. based employees is the best use of their money.

Problem 2: Why are Social Security and Medicare going broke?
Reason: Pay-As-You-Go funding is an inefficient money management strategy.

Problem 3: Why are health care costs out of control?
Reason: Healthcare payments include a hodgepodge of interventions that have nullified free-market cost controls.

Problem 4: Why does the Federal Government spend $1.40 for each $1.00 collected in taxes?
Reason: Congress is fiscally irresponsible with a career incentive to spend.
Solution: Reinforce existing and define some new Constitutional limits on Congress

Problem 5: Why are our energy costs out of control?
Reason: The United States does not have an energy policy

Problem 6: Why is the U.S. education system ranked 17th in math and 25th in science.
Reason: The education reward system is not based on student achievement
Solution: Base teacher compensation on student results and unshackle local ingenuity


America faces other major challenges but a unified electorate can resolve the above six problems within two years.
