Our current political system puts too much power in the hands of the few, often producing ineffective results. The Solution proposes a plan that restricts the size and scope of the federal government while increasing the direct influence of the people. The goal is to make government simpler with full public accountability. The book is divided into four sections. Two describe the various reasons why big government programs often fail and refute the reasons often cited for why they should. Parts three and four propose a fix to the political system: first, a number of Constitutional Amendments aimed at making government function in an updated version of the founders' intent. Secondly, several policy recommendations that repair and replace nonfunctional programs and deal with a number of existing political and social issues. "This is an entertaining, provacative, and thoughtful presentation of one man's opinion on the federal government". - Foreward Clarion Review "The Solution is a spirited and compelling look at what ails America and how to fix it". - Blueink Review "This is a wide-ranging analysis that covers everything." - Kirkus Review
