P.$: The Prevention $aves Coalition to Reduce the National Debt through $avings that Promote Progress
You can help the United States reduce its national debt sanely and in ways
that actually help people. It is well proven in almost every government and public endeavor----from
chronic disease to juvenile delinquency to maintaining infrastructure---that good prevention generates
enormous savings. Prevention improves lives and communities instead of leaving the gaps and collapse
that desperate, last minute “savings” through service slashes so often leave. Right now, the National Debt Commission (formally known as the National
Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform)---which is empowered to make major recommendations
to lower the national debt---is meeting to form a plan to be finalized by December. Join us in assuring that PREVENTION is central to how the United States
sees and frames its overall idea of debt reduction. The linked article, A
Prevention Model for Reducing the Federal Debt while Doing Social Good by Neil
Wollman will give an extraordinary and concise overview of the possibilities for prevention
--- a win-win of savings and progress! please wait a few seconds for the video box to display... |
