American Renewal, AEI Volume, Editors Speaker Paul Ryan and Angela Rachidi, November 2022

“In a country mired in debt, with prodigious and unbridled spending from both political parties, the least that citizens should expect in exchange from such spendthrift is a basic level of support for the most vulnerable populations. Yet there’s a gaping hole in our safety net. . . .”

The purpose of American Renewal: A Conservative Plan to Strengthen the Social Contract and Save the Country's Finances is to promote thoughtful and informed discussions, offer serious policy solutions, and demonstrate real reasons for hope. In the enormous economic challenge of our age lies an opportunity of renewal. If we stabilize our debt, revitalize our economy, and restore the promise of upward mobility, we will be the authors of a great new chapter in the remarkable American story.
