Book excerpt: A nearly $19 trillion debt. A 74,608-page tax code. An increase in global temperatures. A broken Social Security system. These are just some of the problems plaguing our nation. While politicians are quick to offer lip service, they are slow -- or non-existent -- with solutions. Americans are frustrated with the lack of leadership as evidenced by Congress' 10 percent approval rating. Now is the time for simple, bold changes that will alter the direction of this nation. Drawing on more than three decades of business experience, John Burke applies his tested problems-and-solutions approach and independent thinking to tackle the complex problems that America faces. In 12 Simple Solutions to Save America, Burke proposes concrete solutions to fix these issues and challenges Americans to resist the status quo and change what elected officials are unwilling or unable to change. Americans have a civic duty to make the tough decisions that improve the lives of citizens over the long-term. It can be done, but it will not happen by accident.

Download or read book America s Simple Solutions written by Mark Werts and published by . This book was released on 2016-07-19 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In America's Simple Solutions, author Mark Werts tackles education, healthcare, immigration, taxes, gun control, the environment, gender, equality, and many other issues, and offers Americans simple solutions free of partisan bias, based on how these challenges are handled around the world. Having lived, worked, and traveled across Europe, Asia, Africa, and Australia, Werts has observed how people in other countries have approached the same dilemmas that we face in the United States. "I have come to understand what is practical and works. I have also seen what is impractical and doesn't work. In our global world, why would America pursue an idea that has been proven again and again not to work in other places?" he writes. Werts also reflects on the views of our country's Founding Fathers, and suggests that we have forgotten much of their considerable wisdom. Throughout, Werts emphasizes the importance of expanded freedom, especially for entrepreneurs and business. He also stresses the critical roles played by education and political participation. "A good, solid education for all of our citizens is the ultimate answer to our many challenges . . . and to get the best teachers, we must offer the best salaries," he says. And he laments low voter turnout, urging all eligible Americans not only to vote, but to get involved in local boards and commissions. With freedom, education, and voting as an underlying theme, Werts believes that we are at a monumental juncture, and that the future of our individual freedom is at stake. In reading, America's Simple Solutions will empower people to get involved, and make the choices that will fuel both growth and freedom.

Download or read book Simple Solutions written by Patrick Kenji Takahashi and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2007-08-30 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Simple Solutions: For Planet Earth is a scientific book written in a popular style for the average reader. You have read about Peak Oil and Global Climate Warming, and complained about $4/gallon gasoline, but how really serious are these headlines and annoyances? The author has worked his entire career on: the science, technology, education, administration and politics of these subjects, and crystallizes this complex field into understandable elements, providing simple solutions for humanity. Does it make sense for the renewable energy budget of the Federal Government to be about $1 billion/year when: o Annual tax incentives and government programs for the oil industry are supposedly in the range between $38 billion and $115 billion, although Lester Brown says $210 billion in 2005. o Farm subsidies alone in 2004 cost taxpayers $16.2 billion. o Our country spends $12 billion a month, or $144 billion/year, on the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, ostensibly to protect oil, only to raise prices. The author’s long experience with the Greenhouse Effect has led him to believe that methane, not carbon dioxide, could well be the critical gas of concern, for there is potential for global warming to cascade into, what he terms, the Venus Syndrome. The closing chapter speculates on a hypothesis regarding mega-tsunamis (100 meter waves) from landslides. While simple solutions are suggested, the problem is the inability of our civilization to agree on a workable strategy, which is further weakened by the lack of will on part of the general populace. Thus, the reader is urged to help make that crucial difference. Instructions and examples are provided on how to attain Rainbow Vision to carry out this mission for a better Planet Earth. The simplest solution is for everyone to join in on the effort.

Download or read book Saving Americ written by Henry W. Dannenberg and published by . This book was released on 2009-05 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Saving America is a book that discusses reforms regarding basic societal and governmental structures in the U.S. that need changing, adjusting or just tweaking. These alterations, the author points out, are needed to keep America strong in today's ever-changing world. The book offers statistics that each American needs to know. Specific problems are mentioned as are the related reasons for reform. What becomes unique in this book is that the author provides simple solutions in plain language to remedy the problems. The book desires to instill enough feeling and discomfort in the reader to encourage him/her to do something about each issue. The author does this in a plain, simple and lighthearted method using idioms, cliches and sayings of everyday Americana that relate to the vast majority of citizens. Rather than allowing the reader to become lost or overwhelmed in the unnecessary complexities that surround each reform issue as most experts do, the author offers basic solutions that would provide the essential framework for change. Saving America is written as a "wakeup call" to todays apathetic and "do nothing" people to act on their complaints and concerns. The author promotes a foundation of suggestions that can be expanded upon by the appropriate related experts in each field. It is not an "either/or" scenario, but a "Let's try this" option. This book is not a tutorial, a "how-to" manual, nor a gospel sermon. The book's objective is that of an action inhibitor. The author wants Americans to think and feel, but not attain frustration. Americans are ingenious and creative. The author essentially states that the destiny of our country is in the readers'/Americans' hands.

Download or read book Three Shots at Prevention written by Keith Wailoo and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2010-10-01 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2007, Texas governor Rick Perry issued an executive order requiring that all females entering sixth grade be vaccinated against the human papillomavirus (HPV), igniting national debate that echoed arguments heard across the globe over public policy, sexual health, and the politics of vaccination. Three Shots at Prevention explores the contentious disputes surrounding the controversial vaccine intended to protect against HPV, the most common sexually transmitted infection. When the HPV vaccine first came to the market in 2006, religious conservatives decried the government's approval of the vaccine as implicitly sanctioning teen sex and encouraging promiscuity while advocates applauded its potential to prevent 4,000 cervical cancer deaths in the United States each year. Families worried that laws requiring vaccination reached too far into their private lives. Public health officials wrestled with concerns over whether the drug was too new to be required and whether opposition to it could endanger support for other, widely accepted vaccinations. Many people questioned the aggressive marketing campaigns of the vaccine's creator, Merck & Co. And, since HPV causes cancers of the cervix, vulva, vagina, penis, and anus, why was the vaccine recommended only for females? What did this reveal about gender and sexual politics in the United States? With hundreds of thousands of HPV-related cancer deaths worldwide, how did similar national debates in Europe and the developing world shape the global possibilities of cancer prevention? This volume provides insight into the deep moral, ethical, and scientific questions that must be addressed when sexual and social politics confront public health initiatives in the United States and around the world.
