Cities can become the engines that fuel our nation's growth and prosperity, and they can be wide gateways for families to achieve their own American dream of prosperity.

Are we a nation of guarantees or are we a nation of opportunities to achieve the American dream?

For many, the American dream has become a nightmare.

This is our history - from the Transcontinental Railroad to the Hoover Dam, to the dredging of our ports and building of our most historic bridges - our American ancestors prioritized growth and investment in our nation's infrastructure.

College is part of the American dream. It shouldn't be part of a financial nightmare for families.

When we make college more affordable, we make the American dream more achievable.
