Project 2029

Why This Matters to You: Reclaiming the American Dream

For decades, the American economy has worked brilliantly—for those at the very top. Corporate profits have soared, executive compensation has skyrocketed, and middle-class families have seen their wages stagnate and their benefits evaporate.

The system isn’t broken, but too often rewards extraction over productive value creation. Project 2029 restores fair competition and broad opportunity through Rational National Self-Interest.

Why This is For You (Not Just Your Party)

Project 2029 is a proposal to build a society where every individual has the hope and the tools to improve their own lives by helping themselves and others at the same time. We hold the individual as sovereign, believing that when people are empowered to flourish as citizens, they naturally strengthen society as a whole.

It is a win-win scenario that only requires a working government system to sustain. While the U.S. Constitution provides a brilliant foundation, nearly 250 years of history have revealed gaps that must be addressed to protect our future. This mandate is our proposal for how to bridge those gaps and restore a system that works for every American. It is based on Investing in Our Foundation — our greatest national asset: You.

Healthcare is Our Foundation: Just as a family invests in their home to prevent costly emergencies, a nation must ensure its citizens can see a doctor without going bankrupt. It prevents catastrophic failures down the line.
Education is Our Foundation: A modern economy requires a skilled workforce. Providing free college and Pre-K is an investment in our collective future productivity.
Justice is Our Foundation: A system where well-connected actors can ignore the rules creates friction that slows down our economy and erodes the trust that holds markets together.

This isn’t about "Left" or "Right." It’s about "Working" vs. "Broken."

We invest in social programs not because they are merely “nice,” but because they are profitable for the nation and reduce systemic risk. This is a framework for durable, rules-based prosperity:

Merit over Monopoly: Success must be determined by value creation, not regulatory capture or rent-seeking.
Dividends, not Handouts: Healthcare and the Job Guarantee are the earned dividends of a functional society, not charity.
Investing in Our Foundation: A rational society invests in its people (education, healthcare) and infrastructure — just as a family invests in their home before small problems become expensive ones.

The Path to 2029: National Mandate, Local Action

While this project provides a technical blueprint for the federal government, the true restoration of America begins in your neighborhood.

Local Action: The 500,000+ Opportunity

American democracy is built on its local offices—School Boards, City Councils, Sheriffs, and County Commissions. Currently, many of these seats go uncontested.

By running on a Project 2029 Local Platform, you can start building local resilience against extraction and corruption right now.

Audit Your Local Office: Propose a “Day 1 Financial & Ethics Audit” to identify waste and corruption.
Demand Transparency: Ensure every dollar spent by your local board is searchable online.
Professionalize Public Safety: Adopt the Project 2029 training and psychological screening models for local law enforcement.

What’s Inside

This bold policy agenda includes:

Twelve Acts of Reconstruction: Comprehensive legislative agenda to permanently transform American governance—covering healthcare (public option), taxation (progressive reform), workers’ rights (federal job guarantee), electoral reform (ranked-choice voting), institutional integrity (structural sanitation and IC oversight), digital governance and AI, strategic energy and green industry, law enforcement (national training standards with psychological screening and accountability database), education (universal pre-K and free college), government transparency, and infrastructure investment
Emergency Stabilization Measures: Temporary executive actions (Days 1-180) to restore enforcement of existing laws, break regulatory capture, and prepare the ground for legislative reconstruction—including antitrust enforcement, tax compliance restoration, healthcare enrollment, and transparency initiatives
Institutional Restoration Framework: Strengthening checks and balances across all three branches of government, protecting independent watchdogs (Inspectors General), preserving judicial independence, and ensuring no president—regardless of party—can ignore the law
Fiscal Responsibility: Scenario-based fiscal modeling shows $1.055T-$1.735T in annual revenue/savings and $840B-$1.29T in annual costs, ranging from a -$235B worst-case deficit (86% below current) to a +$895B annual surplus
International Evidence: Successful implementations from 30+ countries demonstrating these policies work
Success Metrics: Measurable goals and public accountability framework—success defined by laws passed and institutional safeguards established, not executive orders signed
