About Strong Floor, No Ceiling

America Needs a New Plan—Here’s One That Can Work

In a time of deep division and growing disillusionment, Strong Floor, No Ceiling offers a visionary yet practical roadmap to restore belief in the American Dream. Civic entrepreneur Oliver B. Libby presents a radically moderate platform rooted in real-world experience, not political soundbites. This book is for readers tired of the extremes, ready to rebuild from the middle out.

Libby introduces the idea of a Strong Floor—a baseline of healthcare, education, infrastructure, jobs, capital, and justice that no American should fall beneath. He pairs this with the promise of No Ceiling—a celebration of innovation, entrepreneurship, and ambition that drives national prosperity. 

Together, these principles form the foundation for a revitalized American Dream—accessible, sustainable, and shared.

From healthcare reform and national service to modernizing immigration and restoring civic trust, Libby delivers clear, actionable solutions with cross-partisan appeal. His call to build shared experiences, reform how we receive information, and restore institutional credibility is rooted in both policy expertise and personal conviction.

Strong Floor, No Ceiling is more than a book—it’s a movement grounded in empathy, responsibility, and bold optimism, launching an organization to promote these principles. If you believe America is worth fixing—and that we can still rise together—this is your starting point.
