American Vision · A founding proposal · Twenty years
A proposed gift of $2.5 trillion each year for twenty years to help Americans live healthier, safer, freer, more capable lives—and to rebuild the public foundations that make those lives possible.
Proposal · Funding not verified · Fixed nominal US dollars
The American Vision
“I want this money to reach the people of the United States of America, in every state and territory, and make their lives easier, more secure, and full of possibility. No one should have to choose between food, a home, and healthcare. We cannot let insecurity and stagnation define our future.
“Two and a half trillion dollars a year is a strategic investment in the American people: in great education, curiosity and critical thinking, stable families, and strong communities. I want people to have the freedom to learn, create, love, and become who they want to be. The scale is intentional. Over twenty years, we can build the conditions for people to flourish, and for future generations to live better than we do today.”
Sergei ShikTrue Tomorrow Foundation
Funds may pay residents, cancel qualifying burdens, reimburse verified care, or build permanently public-serving assets. Reasonable wages and competitively procured services are eligible; self-dealing, excessive compensation and diversion into private wealth are prohibited.
Government must continue spending at least its own real, per-person public-benefit baseline. Fund dollars cannot be used to justify cuts, swaps, delayed appropriations, or accounting relabels.
A scheduled contribution is not a spending deadline. Releases expand housing, clinical, care, education, construction, transit, and administrative capacity before scarcity can become profiteering.
Why Now
These measures describe different years and different kinds of need; they are not directly additive. Together, they show why this commitment joins health, housing, food, disability access, learning, and civic life instead of treating each as an isolated problem.
people were uninsured throughout 2025 [3]
people experienced homelessness on one night in January 2025 [4]
households experienced food insecurity in 2024 [5]
U.S. adults reported a disability in 2022 [6]
federal student-loan recipients as of March 2026 [7]
of eighth-graders reached NAEP Proficient in civics in 2022 [8]
The United States spent $5.3 trillion on health care in 2024[2], yet insurance, geography, disability, cost, and social conditions still shape who receives care. Peer-reviewed reviews support treating those conditions as part of health strategy, not as side issues.[12][13]

This is an illustrative starting architecture, not a final appropriation. Percentages are a transparent planning baseline and would move only through public evidence, capacity findings, and resident review—never lobbying pressure.

Build for twenty years. Make public proof, independent scrutiny, beneficiary voice, and continuous repair part of the fund—not an afterthought.
Accessibility is not one line item. Every portfolio must meet universal-design, language-access, geographic-equity, and meaningful-participation requirements. The mobility allocation accelerates access; the civil-rights covenant governs the entire fund.
Sector envelopes include delivery administration, staffing and maintenance. The $25B integrity line funds independent oversight. “100% public benefit” includes these necessary costs; it does not mean every dollar is a cash transfer. Each expense has one primary account, with nonfinancial tags for shared outcomes.
What success would mean
Set costed local targets after an independent baseline. Compare access, quality and affordability across places and groups, then publish progress and shortfalls. These are proposed measures, not results already achieved.
Measure unmet care, appointment delays, medicine availability, avoidable hospital use and household medical burden.
Track housing stability, time without shelter, affordability, accessibility and displacement after neighborhood investment.
Assess learning, completion, debt burden and routes into skilled work, with results for learners who face the greatest barriers.
Track reliable journeys, care availability, food and water security, household costs and essential-service continuity through disasters.
Measure accessible participation, resolved complaints and effective remedies. Publish privacy-protected independent evaluations and their limits.
No national coverage target is claimed before independent costing. Count a person once in total reach, even when they use several services; report service episodes separately.
How It Reaches People
Fast enough for today. Strong enough for a generation.
The compact separates the beneficiary from the delivery partner. Government, nonprofit, cooperative, public institution, and mission-locked private providers may deliver a benefit; none may redirect the money away from that benefit.
Direct benefits, automatic enrollment, debt relief, vouchers controlled by residents, and reimbursement for verified care or services reduce delay and administrative burden.
Clinics, schools, transit operators, housing stewards, libraries, legal-aid organizations, food systems, and care workforces receive mission-locked support tied to access.
A public agency may deliver a service, but no payment becomes unrestricted government revenue. Dollars follow a person, an accessible service, or a certified public asset.
Awards, owners, subawards, prices, milestones, outcomes, audits, conflicts, enforcement actions, and appeals are published in accessible, privacy-protective formats.
Public-benefit boundary
Build the future here. Let everyone share in it.
Public investment should give scientists, builders, technicians, caregivers, educators, and entrepreneurs the means to solve hard problems—and make sure the gains reach every community, not only the people who already own the future.

The Public-Benefit Compact
Participation is voluntary. Acceptance means accepting a clear, public covenant that protects government responsibility, civil rights, honest delivery, and the long-term fiscal future.
Federal, state, territorial, Tribal, and local covered spending—excluding this fund—must remain at or above a rolling three-year baseline adjusted for inflation, population, and eligible caseload.
The federal government must adopt and maintain an independently scored path that reduces debt held by the public as a share of GDP across each rolling five-year window. CBO currently calls the trajectory unsustainable.[1]
Every institutional grantee and delivery partner signs a contractual equality covenant at least as protective as applicable civil-rights law, including Title VI and disability-access requirements.[10][11]
GAO estimates federal fraud losses at $233–$521 billion annually using 2018–2022 data.[9] The fund therefore begins with preventive controls, not a “pay and chase” model.
A breach pauses the affected channel, office, contractor, or expansion. Essential food, shelter, medical, disability, and safety benefits continue through a clean direct or independent route while the institution cures the breach. Launch requires legally available resources for protected service obligations and prequalified alternative delivery routes. A federal fiscal condition cannot be passed down as a penalty on a resident or an unrelated local provider. No benefit depends on party, political belief, civic participation or support for the Foundation’s One World vision.
More people able to create, learn, and belong.
A thriving America needs more than survival. It needs libraries, arts, music, gathering places, local traditions, many languages, and the time and security to participate in culture rather than experience it as a luxury.

Annual Release Gate
No blank checks. No hidden ledgers. No irreversible harm.
Each fixed $2.5 trillion annual contribution supports a sequence of reviewable, capacity-tested releases. Unused or paused amounts remain committed to future public benefit; they do not revert to government, contractors, or the donor. Report contributions received, legal commitments, cash paid and verified services separately. Retained receipts may finance later releases above one annual installment, subject to funded obligations, liquidity and public approval. A receipt is never reported as an outcome.
Covered public spending, debt measures, rights compliance, market capacity, unit costs, and prior-year outcomes are published before a tranche is approved.
Separate fiscal, civil-rights, accessibility, procurement, and fraud-risk reviewers sign public certifications. No recipient certifies itself.
Annual funding is divided into staged releases, with early money weighted toward immediate relief and capacity expansion where supply is demonstrably constrained.
Beneficial ownership, related parties, prices, subcontractors, milestones, geographic distribution, and beneficiary outcomes are visible before the next release.
Material breach triggers a targeted pause, protected reporting, investigation, correction, restitution, clawback, debarment, and referral where law requires it.
American Vision · The 20-Year Arc
Relief is the beginning. Durable freedom is the finish.
The sequence protects urgency without mistaking emergency spending for transformation. Every phase keeps immediate public benefit alive while shifting more weight toward capacity, prevention, and permanence. These are program years, beginning after funding and legal readiness. Construction and services may continue beyond the final contribution only with ring-fenced funding and an accountable operator; year twenty is not an automatic end to essential care.
Stop avoidable loss: medical and household debt, hunger, eviction, untreated illness, inaccessible services, and urgent repair.
Train and retain workers, expand clinics and care, preserve homes, grow transit service, modernize schools, and strengthen local delivery.
Replace fragmented access with interoperable, rights-protecting systems designed around whole lives and measurable public value.
Lock in affordability, public stewardship, maintenance, workforce pipelines, fiscal responsibility, and institutions able to improve without the gift.
A future built with the people who will live it.
Participation is part of the infrastructure: residents help shape priorities, test access, examine results, and hold every institution to the public promise—in person, online, and in the languages their communities use.
Teach civic knowledge, critical reasoning and competing perspectives. Protect the freedom to disagree. Independent educators evaluate learning and access, never political loyalty.
Governance Without Capture
The proposed vehicle is an independently governed, mission-locked public-benefit trust. The founder protects the irrevocable purpose of the gift but may not extract value, direct money to personal interests, or override the integrity and rights systems.
Government participates by maintaining effort, meeting fiscal and rights conditions, opening data, and delivering eligible benefits—not by owning the fund.
Staggered terms, financial and political conflict limits, public reasons for decisions, and removal for cause.
A compensated, rotating civic-lottery body, stratified for geography and lived experience, reviews priorities and distribution.
People protected by the covenant help design access standards, test delivery, and trigger independent review.
Independent audit, investigation, procurement review, protected reporting, recovery authority, and public enforcement reports.
Machine-readable and human-readable awards, subawards, owners, prices, geography, milestones, outcomes, and audit status.
People can challenge denial, inaccessibility, discrimination, data error, or misuse—and receive a timely, reasoned decision.

American health care paradox—high spending on health care and poor health A review of cross-national evidence argues that social, behavioral, and environmental investment is relevant to health outcomes.This page states a proposed founding commitment and operating architecture. It is not a representation that $50 trillion is presently capitalized or available, and it is not a grant offer, appropriation, contract, investment prospectus, tax opinion, or legal advice. A binding launch would require verified capitalization, fiduciary and tax design, independent governance, statutory and contractual agreements, macroeconomic capacity planning, detailed eligibility rules, privacy safeguards, and enforceable remedies. Program year one begins only after those gates are met; no calendar launch date is claimed.
