Chapter 19 of the Heritage Foundation's Project 2025 edition of Mandate for Leadership (Direct PDF link) is full of policies that would be terrible for the US.

Highlights:

  • Replace national transportation infrastructure projects with a flat transportation subsidy formula to each state (most of whose DoTs don't know how to do anything with money other than build highways)
  • Stop funding mass transit, give public funds to Rideshare companies like Uber/lyft instead.
  • Preserve single family home zoning at all costs. Each state and city knows what is best for their people, better than the federal government, except when states and cities do something that conservatives don't like.
  • Screw California in particular.
  • Trying to reduce the number of traffic fatalities is bad if anyone dare suggests that we have to drive a little bit slower.
