"What's Really in our Best Interests"

A debate about how to UnleashRI

Rhode Island is in economic crisis. The Ocean State has fallen to the bottom in too many economic categories, while other states have recovered from the global recession. Unemployment is shockingly high. Our economy is in stagnation. Businesses and our residents have difficulty finding opportunities to succeed. Families are suffering. What do we do? What role should government play?

Is public policy in our state helping our hurting families?

Are certain public policies 'immoral'?

Official Medial Partner

Two Compelling Debate Segments:

1) What is the public policy approach that can unleash the great potential of the Ocean State? A more or less activist government in our lives?

2) What is the moral responsibility of individuals to each other? Of government?
