In the richest country in the world, everyone should be able to eat three meals a day, have a roof over his or her head, and access health care. In addition, everyone should have opportunities to learn, work, and grow. A just economy is built on this foundation of economic stability and opportunity.
Our country’s wealth and abundance can go to support our communities, prevent people from falling deeper into poverty, and give everyone a foundation for opportunity. How our government helps people who are in need is a measure of our nation’s character, our moral grounding, and our commitment to justice for all.
