The Political Book You Need to Read: Problems and Solutions Your Politicians Won't Give

This book is to serve as a light in a political world that most, including myself, are disgusted by, putting forth solutions that our incompetent politicians won’t. To those who have any interest in leaving behind a fruitful future for our children, grandchildren, and generations to follow, I hope the ideas in this book make you hate our current leaders, political parties, and political discussions as much as I do. The greatest country in history is committing financial suicide while failing to redistribute taxes (and debt) in an effective manner. We’re ignoring our, at best, mediocre education system which fails to prepare students for the realities of the world. For nearly 5 decades we’ve ignorantly avoided a legitimate solution to climate change, yet a solution remains one of our largest political issues. Despite whether we recognize these shortcomings or not, we are witnessing them firsthand and no one seems to have a remedy. In an already unforgiving world, how ashamed we should be as a society to pursue our demise.

Just a few things discussed in this book:

• The bottom 67% of Americans could be receiving a Guaranteed Minimum Income of $13,000 annually.
  
• 70% of all our healthcare expenditures are self-inflicted.
  
• Our government is short $239 trillion on the promises its made.
  
• By 2050, interest payments are expected to become the largest category of the federal budget.
  
• Molten salt reactors can produce reliable energy 40% cheaper than coal.
  
• Health insurance should cost no more than $2,100 a year.
• A Guaranteed Minimum Income of $13,000 combined with a raise in the minimum wage to $10 would effectively create an $18 minimum wage.
