在本届国会期间，随着许可和住房立法取得进展，一个受“丰裕”理念启发的议员团体正推出一项详尽的下一届国会议程。众议员乔什·哈德（民主党，加州）和塞莱斯特·马洛伊（共和党，犹他州）于2025年发起成立了跨党派“建设美国议员团体”，旨在削减繁文缛节，以“更快、更好、更便宜”的方式推进住房与能源许可工作。
Energized by progress on permitting and housing legislation this term, an “abundance”-inspired caucus is rolling out a detailed agenda for next term. Reps. Josh Harder (D-Calif.) and Celeste Maloy (R-Utah) launched the bipartisan Build America Caucus in 2025 with the goal of cutting red tape to build “faster, better, and cheaper,” specifically in housing and energy permitting.
国会已于6月压倒性通过了一项全面的住房可负担性方案，参议员们上周也宣布达成了一项跨党派的许可协议。哈德在周三接受采访时说：“很明显，这一理念已经超越了我们的议员团体，成为真正的执政哲学，将全国两党各派系团结在一起。”目前，这个约有40名成员的议员团体正在推出一套95页的提案，该提案首先向《政治报》披露，内容涵盖医疗、交通、儿童照护和科研等领域，均围绕“丰裕”理念展开。
Congress overwhelmingly passed a sweeping housing affordability package in June, and senators announced a bipartisan permitting deal last week. “It's clear that this has become — even beyond our caucus — a real governing philosophy, uniting factions across both parties all over the country,” Harder said in a Wednesday interview. Now the approximately 40-member caucus is rolling out a 95-page package of proposals, first shared with POLITICO, that outlines abundance-oriented proposals touching on health care, transportation, child care and research.
例如，在人工智能方面，该议程提议将联邦数据集标准化，采用适合人工智能分析的形式。至于该议员团体是否真能在下一届国会主导立法，仍有待观察。中期选举结果尚需数周才能揭晓，届时众议院的控制权也尚未确定，但在日益两极分化的国会山，如此广泛且跨党派的议程实属罕见。该议员团体的民主党与共和党成员人数均等，且成员主要（但并非全部）属于温和派。
On artificial intelligence, for example, the agenda proposes standardizing federal data sets in a format that is ready for AI-driven analysis. Whether the caucus will actually lead on legislation next term remains to be seen. Control of the House is still weeks from being determined in the midterms, but a wide-ranging bipartisan agenda is a rarity on an increasingly polarized Capitol Hill. The caucus is split evenly between Democratic and Republican members, who are primarily but not exclusively moderates.
马洛伊在周四接受采访时解释说，该团体在中期选举结果出炉前公布议程，是为了确保任何一方在谈判中都不占优势。自由派《纽约时报》评论员埃兹拉·克莱因和《大西洋》杂志作家德里克·汤普森曾提出“丰裕”理念，作为对民主党2024年政治困境的回应。
Maloy explained in a Thursday interview that the caucus is releasing its agenda before the midterm results are known to ensure that neither party sought an upper hand during negotiations. Liberal New York Times commentator Ezra Klein and Atlantic writer Derek Thompson proposed the “abundance” philosophy as a response to Democratic Party’s 2024 political woes.
尽管这一主张受到了一些进步派和劳工团体的批评，但削减繁文缛节的呼声已在多位知名政治人物中逐渐形成，其中包括左翼民主党人、纽约市市长佐赫兰·马姆达尼，以及共和党温和派、犹他州州长斯宾塞·考克斯。马洛伊表示，她也认为这种治理理念可以应用于共和党政治。“我只是觉得，我们需要摆脱那种‘所有好主意都已经出现了，我们现在不过是在争夺残羹剩屑’的心态，”马洛伊说，“我知道‘丰裕’眼下是个流行词，但我确实认为，我们需要确立丰裕思维。我的意思是，在美国，我们总是这样解决问题的。我们要敢于着眼大局。”
While it has faced some criticism from progressives and labor groups, the call to cut red tape has picked up momentum with several high-profile politicians, including New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, a left-wing Democrat, and Utah Gov. Spencer Cox, a GOP moderate. Maloy said she sees a role for the approach to governing in Republican politics, too. “I just think we need to get out of the mindset that all of the good ideas have already happened, and now we're just fighting over the crumbs,” Maloy said. “I know ‘abundance’ is kind of a buzzword right now, but I do think we need to have an abundance mindset. I mean, in the United States, that's how we always solve problems. We think big.”
