Abundance and Dynamism

The cost of essentials like health care and housing are exploding, and Americans feel the impact. They’re also noticing shortages, ranging from lack of rapid tests during COVID-19 to insufficient housing to electric grid failures. To alleviate this, policymakers must address America’s scarcity problem.

This includes slashing unnecessary regulations that have made it expensive or impossible to build housing or infrastructure; addressing the shortage of health care professionals in the U.S; removing needless barriers to innovation; and investing in clean energy not just to meet our emissions goals, but to make sure consumers have access to cheaper and more reliable sources of energy.

Rather than redistributing wealth or allocating scarce resources, the abundance agenda seeks to spur growth so that all Americans can experience fewer shortages, lower costs, and a better quality of life.
