The Common Sense Guide to Fixing the U.S. Government

America is a divided nation. There is the Uber-Left, the Environmentalists, the Moderates, the Tea Party, the Right Wingers as well as a host of other groups. Divide and conquer has been the mantra. States are being sued by the Federal Government, laws are being selectively enforced, changed by executive order or not enforced at all, fraud and abuse is rampant, companies are keeping money abroad, scandals abound, and the federal courts are overriding decisions made by the voting public. This is not America and not what we expect from our elected representatives. The middle class has been carrying the burden of government inefficiency, increased regulations, rising utility costs and increasing healthcare costs. The middle class should be moving up but how can they with all the obstacles being placed in their way? How do we turn this downward spiral into an upward trend? How can the U.S. regain its economic prowess, put more people to work and redirect the course of America in a positive direction? The media on both sides convey only part of the story in order to present their position in a good light and thus disparage the other side. Americans are ready for the facts without the spin so they can do their own research and make up their own mind. What can you do to make a difference, spur economic growth and get the legislative process moving? This book contains the documented facts with over 140 concrete, common sense suggestions to increase efficiency, create private sector jobs, reduce fraud and abuse, bolster the economy, revamp the education system, and strengthen the country.
