Dawn of Unity: Guide to a New Prosperity
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Leonard, John B., PUBLISHER: Authorhouse, Have you ever thought about the meaning of the phrase in Pres. Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address, where he refers to..".a government of the people, by the people, and for the people,..."? The author believes that our present system - by allowing money to influence the process - is not truly a government by the people; but is rather a government by a wealthy elite, operating primarily for their own benefit. He believes that for a government to truly be "by the people," all people should have equal power, and play an active role in determining government policy. He also believes that this can not come about until the government is freed from all outside influences; particularly the power of wealth. This book proposes two protocols: one to remove the power of money and wealth, and the other, an easy to implement procedure that will put all motivated individuals in control of decision-making processes within all areas of government; from neighborhoods, to cities, to states, and to the nation. Herein is a viable way for all people to obtain governance that truly serves all. That way is through cooperative unity.

Restoring Fiscal Sanity: How to Balance the Budget
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Rivlin, Alice M. / Sawhill, Isabel, PUBLISHER: Brookings Institution Press, The United States is standing at a critical juncture in its fiscal outlook. After experiencing a brief period of budget surpluses at the turn of the century, the federal government will run deficits that add about $4 trillion to the national debt over the next decade. Substantial deficits will likely continue long into the future because the looming retirement of the baby boom generation will raise spending in Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. At the same time, the federal government appears to be neglecting spending in key areas of social and economic policy. The nation thus faces a vital choice: continue down a path toward future fiscal crisis while under investing in critical areas, or increase resources in high-priority areas while also reducing the overall budget deficit. This choice will materially affect Americans economic status and security in the immediate future as well as over long horizons. In "Restoring Fiscal Sanity," a group of Brookings scholars with high-level government experience provide an overview of the countrys likely medium- and long-term spending needs and the resources available to pay for them. They propose three alternative fiscal paths that are more responsible than the current path. One plan emphasizes spending cuts, the second emphasizes revenue increases, and a third is a balanced mix between the two. The contributors address the policy choices in such areas as defense, homeland security, international assistance, and programs targeted to the less advantaged, the elderly, and other domestic priorities. In the process, they provide an understanding of the short- and long-run trade offs and illustrate how the budget can be reshaped to achieve highpriority objectives in a fiscally responsible way.
