Описание: The Moderate Solution breaks through the political gridlock and polemic rhetoric to offer reasoned centrist solutions for fixing the federal budget deficit.
In today's polarized political climate, where politicians distort facts to promote their own agendas and the so-called experts are unable to agree, we are left to sort through the conflicting arguments and make up our own minds. To bring clarity to the fiscal debate, The Moderate Solution is written in a relaxed, conversational style for an audience of independent thinkers and concerned citizens.
The Moderate Solution begins by reviewing the unsustainable fiscal position of the United States government before discussing the country's founding economic and political principles, as espoused by Adam Smith's The Wealth of Nations and enshrined in the Declaration of Independence. It goes on to explore the basic principles of the free market system and discuss the modern history of government finance. Leaving no stone unturned, it then addresses issues central to the present-day political discussion, such as the fairness of US tax policy, the social safety net, health care, and income inequality.
Finally, author David B. Wilson offers up his solutions. But whether or not you agree with his approach, this book provides the solid facts and figures you need to draw your own conclusions.
