America is at a critical crossroads. The choices that U.S. elected officials make in connection with the role of government and its finances over the next 5 years will largely determine whether America’s collective future will be better than its past.

• What are America’s fiscal facts?
• What are sensible solutions to America’s fiscal challenges?
• How will these solutions work to make America stay great?
• How can the American Dream stay alive for today’s families and future generations of Americans?

Presidential candidates have been invited.
