ICYMI: PPI Publishes a New Economic Blueprint for the New Democratic Nominee

Last week, PPI released a comprehensive Paying for Progress blueprint with more than six dozen federal policy proposals to cut the cost of living, boost economic growth, and expand opportunity for all Americans – all while putting the federal budget on a path to balance within 20 years. The blueprint also offers the next administration a series of ideas to address major upcoming fiscal deadlines, including the reinstatement of the federal debt limit, the expiration of TCJA, and the impending exhaustion of the Social Security & Medicare trust funds. Read more about the plan and catch up on the media coverage below.
