Research per Topic:

 

General Domestic

• Economy

  • Lower tariffs:

  • Decreased spending on the military by 1 Bil to finance education, healthcare, and immigration

• Health Care

  • 27.2 million people did not have health insurance in 2024

    • https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/pressroom/releases/20250624.html 

  • While employer-based insurance is the prevalent source of coverage for the population ages 0-64, not all workers are offered coverage by their employer or, if offered, can afford their share of the premiums.

    • https://www.kff.org/uninsured/key-facts-about-the-uninsured-population/

  • Commentary: Millions of people did not have access to health insurance in the United States. Employer-based insurance, where the employer provides options for health care, is one such reason for this number. The Reboot party plans to decrease the maximum amount of money an employer can charge for their insurance so that the citizens of the US can get the health care they need.

• Education

  • The average cost of a four-year degree is between 108,000 and 234,000 dollars

    • https://educationdata.org/average-cost-of-college 

  • We want to help strengthen the Department of Education’s role in providing equal educational opportunities for all individuals.

    • https://www.ed.gov/about/ed-overview/mission-of-the-us-department-of-education 

  • Commentary: The cost of higher education isn’t affordable for many individuals. The Reboot party will make the Federal Department of Education have a larger role in distributing financial aid, because the cost of 108-234k for a four-year degree is not affordable for everyone.

• Gun Control

  •  

• Immigration

  • To get a green card, it would take 34 months in 1991, compared to over 5 and a half years in 2019 (step 2) 

    • https://www.cato.org/publications/policy-analysis/immigration-wait-times-quotas-have-doubled-green-card-backlogs-are-long

  • By itself, the administrative processing wait generally took more than a year and a half in 2018 (step 1)

    • https://www.cato.org/publications/policy-analysis/immigration-wait-times-quotas-have-doubled-green-card-backlogs-are-long

  • Commentary: There are two steps to legally immigrate to the US, according to Cato.org. The first step is the administrative processing, the part where our government does the legal work to allow people to come inside, which generally takes a year and a half. The Reboot party plans to reform this process by hiring more people, judges, immigration lawyers, and bookkeepers (the people who file paperwork) to speed up the process. These funds will be diverted from ICE incrementally, with the first step to stop the expansions of ICE hiring and use those wages, as well as their $50,000 sign-up bonus, to hire new people for the legal process.
