Funding Visions – Solving the World’s Problems
Introducing the Community Support System (CSS)
CSS is a set of mostly voluntary policy changes in the areas of income, healthcare, education, and housing. Once fully implemented, these policy changes are designed to end homelessness, hunger, and poverty in America without raising taxes, demonizing anyone or compromising traditional American values.
For conservatives this means less government, lower taxes, balanced budgets and more individual responsibility. For liberals this means fewer social problems, more equal resource allocations, and more equal opportunities.
The project requires evaluating the impacts of simultaneously implementing policy changes in many different areas (income, healthcare, education, housing) and from many different points of view (economically, politically, and socially). This can be very difficult to arrange in an academic environment where everyone specializes. There is no department of holistic studies
The foundations of the CSS plan are briefly described below:
THE NEXT STEP
Developing the CSS plan will require intensive discussions, refinements and pilot projects. These discussions will generate a long list of reasons why the CSS plan will not work. However, by using this list, we can engineer a set of policy changes that will be more workable. This process needs to be repeated until an acceptable set of policy changes is found. Once developed the CSS plan should first be tested as a state wide project.
We are looking for a group that is qualified and interested in coordinating these efforts. If you know of such a group, please email david@fundingvisions.org
A more detailed but still general description of the CSS plan with some supporting documentation can be found in the book Redesigning America for the 21st Century: Solving our Healthcare, Income, Education, and Housing Problems
