Democrats Unveil Project 2029 to Target 4 Everyday Consumer Irritants
3 articles · Updated · NPR · Jul 7
Summary
Project 2029 is emerging as Democrats' governing blueprint, with one early proposal focused on the "annoyance economy" rather than a traditional tax or spending fight.
Four common frustrations sit at the center of that push: robocalls, endless hold times, hidden fees and other routine hassles that consume consumers' time and money.
The effort echoes the branding of Project 2025, positioning Democrats' plan as a competing agenda for a future administration while broadening policy debate to everyday consumer experience.
