Publisher's Synopsis
AN EXPLOSIVE NEW BOOK WITH BOLD INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS FOR TODAY'S PROBLEMS!Unfortunately, it seems like every issue has become a Third Rail in our politically polarized country. While I am sure that there is something in this book that you will disagree with; I hope that most people will agree with much of this book and see the wisdom of the solutions.
JOIN ME IN WRAPPING OUR ARMS AROUND THESE ISSUES AND HUGGING THE THIRD RAIL!
There are many critical problems that need to be addressed. Now is a crucial time to get our fiscal house in order, promote economic growth, and maintain our national strength. If we do not address these issues now; we will have these and more added to our load in the future. Now is not the time for half measures! We need to solve the current problems and leave room to address future problems without reaching crisis stage every time. This book does not spend time talking about the problems in detail. There are plenty of books that already do that. This book concentrates on presenting solutions to the problems. Inside are great ideas to fiscally discipline the federal government and the strategies to accomplish it.
