The Great Financial Crisis of 2008-2010 was precipitated by major U.S. and foreign banks gorging on subprime debt, rate-shopping the paper they were bundling, and then plummeting below their capital requirements when the housing market went bust.

10 million home foreclosures (2006-2014);
1.8 million small business foreclosures.
Now is the perfect time to get working American families substantially out of debt… and help get Main Street America properly and effectively insulated from the next financial crisis.
There is precisely one economic acceleration plan currently on the table with the raw power to protect the interest of millions of U.S. citizens and get America back on track.
