It’s Time to Let America Work Again


Book Description

As we begin the process of reopening our economy, it is critical that we get back to work. The economic shutdown was intended to slow the spread of a lethal virus, not to permanently sacrifice our freedoms—and certainly not to expand government power and “fundamentally transform” America. During the shutdown, we’ve learned what that transformed America would look like, and it is ugly. With millions of people out of work and dependent on government—lacking the dignity of a job, the security of a paycheck, or the opportunity for a better future—depression and despair are creating an “epidemic within the pandemic” of suicides and drug and alcohol addiction. While there are risks, if we follow safety protocols and protect the vulnerable, we can safely reignite our economy as we undo the lockdown, eliminate policies that discourage work and enact policies that encourage hiring and growth. It’s time to reject the transformation to permanent government dependence and return instead to individual freedom and prosperity.




Forgotten Americans


Book Description

A sobering account of a disenfranchised American working class and important policy solutions to the nation’s economic inequalities One of the country’s leading scholars on economics and social policy, Isabel Sawhill addresses the enormous divisions in American society—economic, cultural, and political—and what might be done to bridge them. Widening inequality and the loss of jobs to trade and technology has left a significant portion of the American workforce disenfranchised and skeptical of governments and corporations alike. And yet both have a role to play in improving the country for all. Sawhill argues for a policy agenda based on mainstream values, such as family, education, and work. While many have lost faith in government programs designed to help them, there are still trusted institutions on both the local and federal level that can deliver better job opportunities and higher wages to those who have been left behind. At the same time, the private sector needs to reexamine how it trains and rewards employees. This book provides a clear-headed and middle-way path to a better-functioning society in which personal responsibility is honored and inclusive capitalism and more broadly shared growth are once more the norm.

The Silenced Shooter


Book Description

Tired of federal gridlock? Can you trust the federal government anymore? Do the "elites" in Washington have an agenda? One with our best interests at heart? Is it time to "Take Back America?" Lynch Cully has found that recovering his memory might be the easy part of "coming back from the dead." His job is gone. His “love life” is on the rocks. He’s anxious to leave the hospital and get on with life, particularly when he hears the 9-1-1 Code 1000 call—all available units respond—to a shooting at a private Christian school. Automatic gunfire reported. Bradley Graham, the keynote speaker at the American Patriot Conservative Caucus, has sent a shock-wave through the political "circus" in this country. The announcement of a new political party, the American Party, with a record number of both grass roots membership and fund raising. The mainstream political world takes notice . . . and tattoos a target on his forehead. Has God turned His back on America? Can the American Party begin to re-chart the course of society back toward our God-given rights that so many Americans have fought and died to preserve? Perhaps more than a few guardian angels are working overtime.
