AN ENTIRELY NEW WAY OF GOVERNING AMERICA. Same as the old. Except this one can never fail the American people.Ever feel that America has lost its magic? That life in America is no longer what it used to be? Told through the story of a new nation, the author exposes grave design flaws in America's much-heralded system of governance-the U.S. Constitution, the three branches of government, and the system of checks and balances-the whole enchilada. These flaws are why the system is failing to deliver on "America's Promise." They allow the government to cheat 21st-century Americans out of the good life they were endowed with and to get away with it. The good life America was founded for. They are why the government is more about drama than results and why the people are increasingly divided and uncivil. They are why the national debt is out of control-draining people's prosperity and creating a nightmare for future generations-and why Americans today with two incomes struggle to do what previous generations comfortably did on a single income. They are why America is closer than ever to collapsing as a stable, well-functioning civil society. There is no escape from significant adverse consequences for America unless we address these flaws. "The New USA" is the story of a new nation. At its founding, it had the option to adopt America's system of governance, but it rejected it. It reasoned that doing so would eventually lead it to the same sad state as America is in today. Instead, it tasked a team of consultants with developing a new system. A system that would restore the good life Americans were endowed with-the good life America was founded for: the original freedom, prosperity, and unity. A system that can never fail to deliver on "America's Promise."The story packs a deceptively simple yet possibly the most impactful set of ideas for America since the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution.Publisher's Note: "The New USA" is a revised edition of the previously published "USA 2.0."
