96% of Americans hunger for major changes in one or more of these six issues
-
Boosting economic mobility, productivity, and growth
-
Reforming education so students reach their potential
-
Making Healthcare more effective and less costly
-
Curbing the national debt
-
More efficient, cleaner and reliable energy
-
Making the tax code fairer and simpler
America’s biggest challenges aren’t partisan.
Rising costs, stagnant wages, an outdated tax code, a healthcare system that delivers poor outcomes at high prices - these issues affect all of us. Yet too often, the policies meant to address them are created in silos, ignoring how they interact with one another. The result?
A system that isn’t working for most Americans.
When policies conflict, families pay the price.
Housing becomes unaffordable while wages fail to keep up.
Healthcare costs climb while essential programs face budget shortfalls.
National debt balloons while economic mobility stalls.
The Grand Bargain Project exists to break this cycle.
We are tackling six key interconnected objectives - economic mobility, education, healthcare, clean energy, national debt, and tax reform - at the same time. We are thereby building a practical, common-sense roadmap so that all Americans, every family, and generations to come will thrive.
Our Story
Proof of Concept
Building a Movement
Expected Outcomes
To start, we integrated policy suggestions from 13 top former federal officials and think tank leaders. We sought feedback from key stakeholders on the six key issues and diverse citizens. The result: a 2,500-word Grand Bargain Framework
To facilitate nationwide dialogue, our Grand-Bargain-in-a-Box toolkit enables citizens to deliberate over the contents of the evolving plan — and will enable us to distill the results into a format that we will present to political leaders as representing the will of the America people.
A critical mass of Americans, influencers and stakeholders increasingly unite around the Grand Bargain, creating an exponentially growing movement to tackle our nation’s core challenges.
