Policy catalog
Forty-four proposals, grouped by the five parts of the framework.
Each policy carries a description, a documented overseas or domestic precedent, the lead agency or committee, conservative and progressive framings, and four visual indicators: 10-year fiscal effect, implementation window, middle-class impact, and planetary impact.
44 policies · Illustrative estimates, not CBO scores
How to read the indicators
- Fiscal. 10-year base case. Navy = revenue; green = savings; gold = scored investment cost.
- Timeline. Highlighted span on a 20-year bar. “+” means work continues past Year 20.
- Middle class. Hold-harmless test for households $40,000–$150,000.
- Planetary. Climate and resource effect, independent of the fiscal score.
