The increase of dependence on the federal government has taken the focus from the original philosophy of the God-given right to individual freedom. As the federal central government grew more powerful...the freedom of choice for individuals diminished.
As America struggles to climb back from a painfully stubborn recession, changes must be made to ensure this doesn't happen again. In Freedom's Nation, author Jack E. Reinhard, PE, lays out how to do exactly that.
Since the Federal Reserve's creation in 1913, the government has used it in order to pay for a variety of projects, as well as to help prop up the country's flagging banking industry.
After 1971, the Fed's power grew unwieldy, causing the 2008 recession, massive national deficit growth, and the general economic instability from which we all suffer today.
All is not lost, however, as Reinhard lays out a plan that will call for more factual pegging of the American currency, regular audits of the Federal Reserve, guidelines to reel in the federal budget, and a total government restructuring that once again celebrates the freedom of the individual.
It truly is possible for America to become Freedom's Nation once again.
