Part 1
ECONOMIC HOPE Diminished

Diminished through record-breaking debt, unchecked spending, slanted tax policy, and the offshoring of American jobs.

Part 2
NATIONAL SECURITY Undermined

Undermined through Iraq war intelligence failures, unfunding of first responders, overcommitment of forces, and the neglect of growing nuclear threats.

Part 3
EDUCATION Unfunded

Unfunded through direct cuts, unfunded federal mandates like No Child Left Behind, sharp tax revenue drops for state education budgets, and college aid reductions.

Part 4
HEALTH CARE Inaccessible

Inaccessible due to double-digit annual cost jumps, shifting of costs to employees, cuts and proposed block-granting of Medicaid, and no plan to help the uninsured.

Part 5
ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH Deteriorating

Deteriorating through aggressive rollbacks to clean air and water programs, expanded mining and toxic emissions allowances, and policy reversals on climate change

Part 6
PRIVACY, JUSTICE & LIBERTY Threatened

Threatened by changes to U.S. law under the Patriot Act(s) which eliminate key checks on executive powers, and do broad, immediate damage to the Bill of Rights.
