    About this ebook

    At last... a common-sense approach to reasonable solutions and ways to handle some of the problems that people can't seem to discuss without shouting or reaching for each others' throats.

    Sinclair offers solutions to some of the most polarizing topics in the news, and doesn't just complain: he offers his ideas on how things can be done to make this country work better and be a nice place to live.

    Topics covered include:
    Term limits;
    Reducing our dependence on foreign oil;
    Improving education;
    The 2nd Amendment;
    Stimulating plant construction;
    Encouraging voting;
    Sales tax on online sales;
    Keeping brokers honest;
    Improving the literacy rate;
    Making lotteries fairer;
    New rules for marriage;
    The mortgage crisis;
    Apprenticeship programs

    After reading this book, you'll have plenty to talk about around the office water-cooler, because Sinclair's ideas are ones you may have never thought of before.

      Mister Sinclair’s intention in writing this brief treatise is to give some suggestions as to how this country can accomplish some extraordinary goals in the areas of increasing efficiency and decreasing the bipartisanship in government, easing financial deficits of the states, reducing our reliance on fossil fuels, maximizing our national manufacturing base, increasing voting participation, reducing crime, and some other practical solutions that are either never or rarely discussed.

      1. The Impossible Dream: Actually Working

      None of the suggestions in this book can ever be put into effect unless the United States Congress makes it possible… and unfortunately, our legislators are forced into having their priorities placed in a reverse order.

      Instead of concentrating on doing what’s right for the country, their main concern is how to get re-elected.

      As a result of this priority reversal, they are required to raise large amounts of money… and that means making donors happy.

      Being elected to office is fine, but just being there isn’t enough, because while in office you must function properly to keep your constituents happy enough to re-elect you, because no amount of money can buy an election if you’re not conceived as right for the job. If you doubt that, talk to Meg Whitman, Carly Fiorina, Michael Huffington, Steve Forbes, or many of the other billionaires who wasted hundreds of millions of their own funds on failed election attempts but were perceived by the voting public as being not ready for prime time.

      Persons elected to Congress must be capable of pleasing the people who their success depends upon, and this requires wearing many hats, because the public is polarized.

      A successful candidate must please donors for funds, constituents for votes, more senior party members for influence and then spend a large percentage of time in office raising funds for the next election.

      Talk-show host Jay Leno created a segment for his program entitled JayWalking, during which he takes a camera crew out in the street and interviews people at random, asking each them the same series of extremely fundamental questions… like what is the name of our country’s vice president?

      The thing that makes this segment so popular is astounding ignorance of the people questioned, who even fail to correctly answer a question like in what year was the war of 1812 fought?

      To accentuate the humorous irony of the segment, Mister Leno often features people who claim that they are college students… a stunning indictment of our educational system.

      I am quite sure that in order to wind up with two or three ignorami who give answers to his questions that are so wrong that they are humorous, he must interview at least 10 people with correct answers that don’t ‘make the cut,’ for every one low-information person who is featured on that evening’s show.

      A good friend of mine enjoys the JayWalking segment as much as I do, but he refuses
