The Strengthening America's Future Initiative
The economic crisis of 2008 and 2009 has led to wide-ranging proposals for restructuring economic and financial regulation. Our government plays a vital role in setting up the rules and institutions that create a healthy economy over the long term. Government policy should have three primary objectives: 1) supporting a dynamic and innovative economy with free and fair trade 2) supporting household saving, which is the best source of investment capital for businesses and helps to buffer households against periodic economic downturns, and 3) preventing isolated failures at financial institutions from rippling through the entire economy.
