I wish everyone would read this book - especially the ones involved in government and the ones that vote in elections. There are parts of this book that are so scary you won't go to sleep easily after reading them. That we are in trouble as a country is not a secret. How we got here is a long story. These authors do not blame one party or the other for this mess - because there is plenty of blame to go around. At this point in time blame doesn't matter as much as fixing things! It is a long book that covers many subjects such as education, politics, lobbyists, the environment and the economy to name a few. Let me just give you one example - global warming. The authors do not address the political debate we hear each night on whether or not it exists. Developing industries to fight global warming is an economic decision - they suggest it will be the next great global industry. The demand for cleaner, renewable energy will be high from all countries in the world. Do we want to lead or follow? A wonderful book to read if the phrase "That Used To Be Us" is upsetting to you.
