Economic Reconstruction

In 20 years, this Plan will eliminate the production of greenhouse gases, and will eliminate poverty, unemployment, and underemployment by creating over 20 million good jobs in the course of transforming the nation's infrastructure and production systems. The Plan will increase the incomes and standard of living for the bottom 90% of the population, in all communities: African-American, white, Latinx, Asian, Native American; urban, suburban & rural; working class & professional.

All goods and machinery needed for building these systems will be manufactured in the United States, reviving the manufacturing sector, which in turn will return power to the working class and unions, and along with infrastructure building will reignite a virtuous circle of widely shared, sustainable economic growth.

The only sacrifices will be made by the very wealthy and large corporations, who will contribute most of the funds needed to pay for this program via higher taxes for them, accompanied eventually by lower taxes for the rest.
