This book provides extremely simple yet refreshing solutions to most of our national problems from unemployment to foreign policy. First, I listed some of our ills and societal, cultural and economic problems in the title article in the first chapter. You probably will cry and laugh at the same time. Fortunately most of our problems are not that difficult to remedy. All the fences, equipment and manpower will not keep illegal aliens away from our border but SEVERELY penalizing the employers will. If there are no jobs, they will not come. Nothing is simpler and more cost effective than this. Before we talk about a national health care plan, we have to start by cutting down our high medical care expenses (Chapter 2). When we tax or force small businesses to pay for the plan, we are creating more problems, such as unemployment. Taxing the rich excessively and continuously printing money will exacerbate more problems and does not resolve anything. They are the roots of our problems and not solutions. It could force the geese that lay the golden eggs to fly to another country. The better the incentives for them to invest here, the more jobs the rich and their organizations would create. We have to abandon some low-wage consumer products but enhance the ones that are competitive in the global market. A $20 wage can never compete with a $2 wage. You cannot survive with $2 per hour wages in the U.S. With the alternative of closing out all foreign trades, we may have to end up buying a toaster made in USA for $50 This would erode our living standard further. The tariff on Chinese tires does not gain us a SINGLE job and our consumers have to pay more for the tires from other foreign countries. It started another trade war with China. Why do we repeat these lose-lose actions again and again? The Congress needs to cut the generous corporate and individual entitlements. Welfare should provide a safety net especially for the real needy. It would encourage the able poor to work and break their vicious cycle of poverty. Clinton's Reform is a good start even if it has a lot of holes. If you lose your free health care for taking a job, would you work? It does not take a genius to fix this problem, but where has the genius been for the last two centuries? Last Update: 1/2015. Size: 280 pages (6*9)
