What America would look like, if our companies cared for us as much as our government does them.
The "Truth & Transparency in Media" Act
Every year, big media and tech companies rake in billions through "subscription creep" —hidden fees and auto-renewals that many Americans forget they even have. This Act reallocates $11 billion of those corporate profits to give our students the "Real World" skills they need to stay financially independent and mentally sharp in a digital world.
The "Ready for Life" Curriculum
What Our Students Gain
Financial Independence
10th graders learn to master their own money: tracking recurring fees, avoiding "debt traps," and understanding how apps use "dark patterns" to get them to spend.
Media Defense Training
11th graders learn to spot "Rage Bait" and algorithmic manipulation designed to make them angry rather than informed.
Practical Fact-Checking
Seniors master the "Primary Source" method: learning how to verify a claim using real data before they ever cast their first vote.
The $11 Billion Direct Investment Plan
To ensure this doesn't get lost in bureaucracy, the funds go directly to the people who make it happen:
-
Teacher Merit Bonuses ($5.5B): Any teacher who qualifies to teach the "Applied Logic" course receives a $5,000 annual bonus to keep our best educators in the classroom.
-
The Household "Reality Kit" ($2.6B): Every student gets a digital toolkit that includes tools to track and cancel unwanted subscriptions, along with access to diverse, non-partisan news databases.
-
Family Research Centers ($3B): Local school libraries will be upgraded into high-tech hubs where parents and students can use professional tools to fact-check local news and verify information in real-time.
