Questions

Frequently asked questions about the working draft.

Short answers grounded in what the site and Version 2 document actually claim. For scoring detail, read Methodology; for the full apparatus, download the draft.

Is this an introduced bill?

No. Plan for Prosperity is a public policy white paper and working draft. The legislative architecture page outlines titles and vehicles for Legislative Counsel; floor-ready statutory language would be a later drafting step. Nothing here has been introduced in Congress.

Is this an official CBO score?

No. Dollar figures and debt-to-GDP paths are illustrative directional estimates under conventional budget-window logic, drawn from public CBO, Treasury, IRS, OECD, and IMF baselines. Any provision adopted from the framework would need formal Congressional Budget Office scoring before legislative consideration. See Methodology for how ranges and stress tests are labeled.

Who is behind Plan for Prosperity?

The framework is authored and maintained by Mike Chittick. Related product and communications work may be performed through Spinfluence Labs. It is not a campaign, party vehicle, or PAC.

What is the middle-class hold-harmless rule?

No measure in the package may impose a net cost on households earning roughly $40,000–$150,000 without a costed mitigation in the same package. The framework also states no wage-tax increases below $400,000 and no Social Security or Medicare benefit cuts for current retirees.

What is the debt target?

The Version 2 working draft aims to bring U.S. debt held by the public from near 98 percent of GDP toward about 70 percent over roughly twenty years, while preserving the middle-class hold-harmless constraint. Figures remain illustrative until formally scored.

Is the plan partisan?

It is framed as nonpartisan. Mechanisms are drawn from consolidations and tax, health, and industrial policies advanced across the spectrum. Where a proposal has a current partisan association, the draft discloses it rather than concealing it.

Are donations tax-deductible or campaign contributions?

Neither by default. Gifts support development and public communication of the document and site—including outreach so the draft can be reviewed. They are not contributions to a candidate, party, or political committee. Unless and until a qualified nonprofit or fiscal sponsor exists, a gift is not a tax-deductible charitable contribution. Gifts do not buy access, a meeting, or a change in the framework. This is not tax advice.

Who pays for Plan for Prosperity?

The project is unfunded as an independent public working draft—no foundation grant or institutional sponsor right now. It is authored and maintained by Mike Chittick; related product and communications work may be performed through Spinfluence Labs. Gifts fund the document, site, and traction/outreach so it can reach staffers and the public. Use Donate or Contact (outreach@planforprosperity.org). Public endorsements are listed only with written permission on the Sponsors page.

How do I critique the draft or report an error?

Use the Contact form or email info@planforprosperity.org (press inquiries: press@). Corrections with citations are welcome. Methodology explains scoring rules and sources; the Version 2 PDF carries the full citation apparatus.

How do I ask Congress to review the plan?

Use Write Congress: enter your ZIP, open a drafted email to your senators and House member, and send it from your own account. Nothing is sent automatically from this site.

Where is the full document?

Download the Version 2 working draft PDF from the site, or start with the executive summary on the Document page. Version 1 is archived for comparison.

Are there public sponsors or endorsements yet?

Not yet. The Sponsors page will list organizations and individuals only with written permission—after review, briefing, or a public statement of support. Empty and honest beats invented social proof.
