The HAL Project

The HAL Project is guided by this set of core principles.

 

• Issues:  Precarious incomes, extreme wealth inequality, and high debt service.

 

• Goals:  Increase the wealth of individuals and the country by guaranteeing a living income, narrowing the wealth gap, and retiring the national debt while financing the Rainy Day Fund.

 

• Fairness:  Every person, entity, and institution should contribute to the nation’s welfare.

 

• Transparency:  All datasets, calculations, and assumptions will be open for public review.

 

• Accountability:  Policies will be judged by evidence, not ideology.

 

• Resilience:  Proposed public policy will strengthen the nation’s capacity to attend to the needs of its citizens and to finance crises without mortgaging our future.

 

• Method:  Reshape public policy and the tax system to make our society more equitable.
