COUNTDOWN TO JULY 4TH, 2026! – USA 250TH BIRTHDAY!!
What is the TEEN New Deal?
The “TEEN New Deal” is an interactive book for youth that includes a 12-step plan to give America a “big gift” in 2026, America’s 250th birthday.
The gift that the “TEEN New Deal” represents is composed of three solutions which would be achieved through federal legislation, a nationwide law:
TEEN New Deal Component 1 – STUDENT PAY (financial literacy)
- Students should be paid to attend school with digital currency, using blockchain technology, and parents should have access to their child’s earnings based on student age. The younger a student is, the more access parents should have and each year the student gets older, parent access decreases.
TEEN New Deal Component 2 – STUDENT GOVERNMENT (civics & government literacy)
- Student Government Associations should be mandatory at all schools to prepare youth to enter the political process, with weighted parental votes, by voting on school-based issues.
TEEN New Deal Component 3 – STUDENT MEDIA (media literacy)
- Students should have access to age-appropriate media programming (radio, television, internet, etc.) on a closed-circuit (accessible/visible only to youth & school staff inside school building) so that students can learn how to navigate media (social media specifically) more responsibly.
The TEEN New Deal has two ultimate solutions: (1) compensate, incentivize, and reward students for better academic and moral labor at school; and (2) increase more desirable outcomes within society while decreasing social ills (i.e. racism, crime/violence, economic inequity, etc.). Using the TEEN New Deal, students can be compensated & incentivized, while being taught & rewarded to become better adults & citizens, leading to a more harmonious society.
How did the TEEN New Deal originate?
Why the TEEN New Deal is a great idea for America’s 250th anniversary:
Federal legislation of the TEEN New Deal by July 4th, 2026, is a great gift idea for America’s 250th-anniversary because the milestone will be officially recognized by the nation through an act of Congress. In 2016, the U.S. Semiquincentennial Commission was established by Congress with the intention “…to plan and orchestrate the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.” It is only fitting that the occasion be marked indelibly with a gift that can offer real benefit in the lives of Americans today, and in the future. The TEEN New Deal is that gift.
A variety of events and celebrations are being planned by the U.S. Semiquincentennial Commission. Click the link below to view their website and plans:
