With this book, John Burke shares his thoughts on the future of America. Burke makes the case that America’s decline is due to a combination of poor leadership in the government and poor citizenship. Burke takes on 14 of America’s biggest problems, ranging from a health-care system that is almost twice as expensive as any other country in the world and delivers results that rank 55th out of 57 Western nations to how to solve our nation’s $34 trillion debt. For every major problem, Burke outlines nonpartisan solutions that are in the best long-term interest of the United States. The book brings our biggest problems to life with facts, graphs, stories and, most importantly, solutions. This book is a great read for anyone who cares about the future of the United States.

Now it is our turn. It is the time for all good people to stand up and be heard, to do something for our country, and be worthy of the title Citizen of the United States.
