Since Sliced Bread is a national call for fresh, common sense ideas. A call for ideas that will strengthen our economy and improve the day-to-day lives of working men and women and their families. It?s also a place where ordinary Americans and experts alike can discuss the important economic issues of our times.

Our goal: An America where the American Dream is alive and well in the new global economy of the 21st Century. Global competition and the fast-changing world of work create opportunities and challenges that require bold thinking from political leaders. Not only is Washington not delivering, but policies are made without talking to ordinary Americans ? yet who is better equipped to offer common sense ideas?

Since Sliced Bread seeks ideas that are original and creative, have the best chance of practical success and would most effectively:
Grow the economy
Create good-paying jobs that allow people to raise a family, afford health insurance, pay for their children?s college education, get additional training and save for retirement
Encourage existing companies to expand and entrepreneurs to start new ones.
Finally, keep in mind who should benefit from the ideas ? whom this contest is about.

Since Sliced Bread is also changing the way Washington works. It?s an unprecedented effort to give ordinary Americans ? people who are rarely asked for ideas on how to fix the economy ? the chance to offer theirs. We?re serious about wanting to change the way policy ideas emerge.

Since Sliced Bread is so serious about finding and rewarding good ideas that a panel of respected thinkers and community leaders will choose 21 finalists and public voting will determine the top three ideas.

The winner receives a grand prize of $100,000 and our commitment to work to make the idea a reality. The two runners-up take home $50,000. All 21 ideas will be featured in a book to be published in 2006.
