Public disenchantment with and distrust of American government is
at an all-time high and who can blame them? In the face of
widespread challenges-everything from record levels of personal and
national debt and the sky high cost of education, to gun violence,
racial discrimination, an immigration crisis, overpriced
pharmaceuticals, and much more-the government seems paralyzed and
unable to act, the most recent example being Covid-19. It's the
deadliest pandemic in over a century. In addition to an
unimaginable sick and death toll, it has left more than thirty
million Americans unemployed. Despite this, Washington let the
first round of supplemental unemployment benefits run out and for
more than a month were unable to agree on a bill to help those
suffering. This book explains why we are in this situation, why the
government is unable to respond to key challenges, and what we can
do to right the ship. It requires that readers "upstream," stop
blaming the individuals in office and instead look at the root
cause of the problem. The real culprit is the system; it was
designed to protect liberty and structured accordingly. As a
result, however, it has left us with a government that is not
responsive, largely unaccountable, and often ineffective. This is
not an accident; it is by design. Changing the way our government
operates requires rethinking its primary goal(s) and then
restructuring to meet them. To this end, this book offers specific
reform proposals to restructure the government and in the process
make it more accountable, effective, and responsive.
