What Works: Common Sense Solutions for a Stronger America Audiobook (Free)

Summary:

We didn’t just crawl out of a cave. We know what works based on experience. Why must we continuously re-fight the same fights again and again? Our politics and even our spiritual lives too often resemble the film “Groundhog Time” in which actor Costs Murray wakes up and repeats the same event again and again and nothing at all ever changes, such as present-day Washington.

We will consult the past and common sense in order to see that what others discovered still works. Wisdom existed before the Internet about What Works: GOOD SENSE Solutions to get a More powerful America and other forms of mass communication – and video games, Facebook and Twitter.

Today, we have more information than ever, but less wisdom; more speak, but less hearing; more points in the superficial showroom (superstars are a good example) and much less in the intellectual storeroom (that would be knowledge).

We KNOW what works – historically and instinctively-but politics too often gets in the way, as does ignorance. Too little people give consideration and the politicians conveniently pick their pockets – actually and intellectually. That’s why Congress comes with an acceptance rating less than cockroaches and colonoscopies and only somewhat above pedophiles.

Instead of the constant jockeying for political advantage, suppose we begin concentrating on what promotes the overall welfare, no matter which party or ideology gets the credit. It’s amazing what complications can be solved if solutions, not partisan gain, end up being the goal.

The American public is being “gamed” by politicians, the big media and various other “elites,” whose main interest centers on themselves. When was the last tale you noticed on TV, or read inside a paper, about anyone seeking, much less achieving, a solution to any major problem?

This book is about solutions, not theories or an attempt to get political advantage. It’s about pressuring our political leadership to forget about the next election and start concentrating on the requires of the people who work hard to supply for themselves, send their taxes dollars to Washington, and need to start to see the nation attain something of worth as it has always done. Think about abandoning issues that don’t function and start concentrating on what does work? The alternative is definitely more of the past. And Bill Murray with the ground hogs.
