The basic unit of any society is the family. The economy of the United States today is not conducive to family formation or rearing children. There are many challenges, including the cost of housing, the cost of food, the cost of health care, and a collapse of cultural optimism.
60 years ago in the United States, it was possible for one family member working 40 hours a week to sustain a household at a secure middle-class standard of living. Diane will take on the Epstein class and stop bailing out billionaires, which has led to soaring hyperinflation. After two terms of a Sare presidency, a single American worker will be able to support a family once again.
Wall St. and the City of London must be put through bankruptcy reorganization, which includes breaking up the banks by function with a new Glass-Steagall Act. Specifically, commercial banks, that is, those that handle normal savings and loan activities, will be completely separated from investment firms. They will not operate under the same roof nor with the same personnel. Savings accounts of the American people must never be used as collateral for the speculative activity of the elites.
Wiping out the speculative debt alone will not increase the purchasing power of the average household. The Federal Reserve must be reorganized and converted into a National Bank in the Hamiltonian tradition.
The Four Laws of Lyndon LaRouche outline the principles of what must be done. Instead of hyperinflationary bailouts, the Third National Bank and U.S. Treasury will issue trillions of dollars of new credit for investment in projects that will increase the productivity of the American workforce.
A crash program to develop thermonuclear fusion energy, in collaboration with China, will drive the process of innovation and transform the power of the American worker.
The development of thermonuclear fusion will be a critical component of an invigorated NASA-run space program to establish a manned colony on Mars within the next 30 years. China and Russia are already planning an industrial base on the Moon, and instead of waging war against those nations, the United States should collaborate on this initiative.

Great projects to increase the productivity of the American workforce
The American Society of civil engineers rated American infrastructure at a C grade in their 2025 report. I list below the areas of needed investment.
1. Water Management
The North American Water and Power Alliance (NAWAPA) would bring fresh water down through the Rocky Mountain Trench replenishing the entire North American water cycle (for more, see Nuclear NAWAPA XXI: Gateway to the Fusion Economy).
2. The United States needs 42,000 miles of new modern high speed rail
For more, see High-Speed Rail—Connectivity, Productivity.
3. Abundant safe energy: We need to construct 200 new nuclear fission power plants
For example, the U.S. should build over 40 new nuclear desalinization facilities.
