Summary

The United States of America finds itself in a political halftime show, and if something doesn't change soon, the second half could see a continuation of disorganized policies that stifle liberty. Author Dan S. Wible, an aerospace engineer, applies engineering principles to seek solutions to prevent the country's problems from escalating; his thought provoking application of common logic reveals how free trade without balance of trade has resulted in a loss of manufacturing capability and undermined America's infrastructure; the Federal Reserve has been completely irrational in its attempt to manipulate the world economy, creating an economy that is now fundamentally unstable; a return to a limited federal government would enable the free market to once again flourish; free-market capitalism-with the federal and state governments doing only what the people have authorized-is the best way to allow all people to excel. It's Halftime in America, and the United States is at risk of becoming a European-style socialist nation, which is the very style of government the country's patriots sought to extract themselves from more than two centuries ago. Wible offers insights to how and why this is happening-and what can be done to prevent it.

Excerpts

Our progress as a society has grown to greatness using uniquely derived principles to create an unprecedented experiment in government, and perhaps just by luck, perhaps because of this form of government, we have also had the luxury of riding the wave of the greatest industrial revolution in the history of our planet. These unique conditions have availed to us astonishingly grand lifestyles. On top of that, we enjoy grand landscapes, grand transportation, grand communication, grand opportunities for personal growth in wealth, and we have even become a society of unique cultural blending and development unlike any other nation on this planet, unlike anything culturally ever seen on this planet before.
It is interesting that a country so grand would have to now face influences so ominous that it risks us losing this social-political experiment that has enabled the average person the ability to achieve unbelievably grand dreams. So much has happened over the past half dozen years it is difficult to sort through and make sense of it all. Here we are, looking at a nation with grand natural resources stretched before us, and up to this point relatively low corruption in government, with relatively easy credit available for financing our dreams, together fostering a climate for economic growth that has allowed us to become the greatest nation on earth, perhaps the greatest nation in the history of our planet. Yet we now stand in the face of stunning developments. We find ourselves distressed because our wonderful experiment in a limited republic has faltered and federal authority has expanded beyond its authorized boundaries. The sources of these sinister and powerful influences are not obvious. It is not even obvious what has gone wrong, what is going wrong, and what our future will bring if we continue on this current path.
We need to understand our plight and the truths of what is undermining our progress. Once identified, once seized upon as to the magnitude of the problems we face, we can then analyze and discover solutions to our problems. Once we find these solutions, then we must act to solve them.
We stand today nearly toppled by an undercurrent of political warring to fight for an economic direction and an unprecedented level of control of individual’s lives and livelihood for Americans. This warring is for our political direction, our economic direction, and our security as a nation, whether we continue existing as an ordered republic that holds liberty at its highest regard, or whether we are swept away to dangerous control by a corrupt government.
Solutions to our nation’s current struggle politically, economically and in national security are apparent. All it takes is seeking them, finding them and implementing them with a balanced approach that is fair to the intentions of our founding fathers, for it is largely because of the structure they laid out in the Constitution that we have been able to find such success as a people. The solutions to the problems currently encountered by these United States of America are found by looking at our nation’s efforts and consequences of those efforts using basic life principles combined with basic analytical tools, holding the Constitution in highest regard as we formulate our plan of action.
