5.0 out of 5 starsCommonsense Solutions for America’s Entitlement Crisis
By Jay Lehr on September 17, 2015
Books about economic issues often contain many complex charts, graphs, and equations, but they also tend to lack common sense.

Peter Ferrara’s new book, Power to the People: The New Road to Freedom and Prosperity for the Poor, Seniors, and Those Most in Need of the World’s Best Health Care, is not one of those books.

Drawing on his 35 years of experience at Harvard Law School, in the Reagan administration, and at the Heritage Foundation, the Cato Institute, and The Heartland Institute, which publishes Budget & Tax News, Ferrara shows how elected officials have been primarily interested in retaining power and pandering to their special interests and uninterested in actually solving the problems the nation faces.

-Commonsense Principles-

By ignoring simple solutions for providing a social safety net, lawmakers have bloated the nation’s entitlement programs, making them ineffective and indeed harmful to the people they’re supposed to serve. Like many answers to the questions facing lawmakers today, Ferrara’s simple solutions are based on commonsense, constitutional, and free-market principles.

For example, Ferrara explains one of the most complex entitlement programs in modern history, Obamacare, in an easily understandable manner. The only confusion left in the reader’s mind will be how it ever became a law.

“Throwing out the separation of powers, Obamacare grants the president unprecedented power, taking us back before the Magna Carta, with monarchial power for the president to bypass Congress completely,” Ferrara wrote.

-Harming Instead of Helping-

Ferrara explains how the U.S. welfare system operates in reverse, keeping people in poverty and continually adding to the welfare rolls.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsReform of entitlement programs
By Steve on July 10, 2015
Covers the major entitlement programs and proposes profoundly different and better alternarives that would be good for people and for the nation. P:oltically ambitious, and no doubt opposed by the left, they would reduce the cost of government, improve the economy, help the poor, and create fobs. Very well written.

5.0 out of 5 starsexcellent book.
By Jonathan E. Schwartz on July 26, 2015
Verified Purchase
excellent book...perfect for when liberals use their usual tactics of asking for conservative solutions(don't worry, they won't understand them anyway)...if only our educational and political systems would catch up to this author but unfortunately, they are stuck in the failed philosophy of the Utopian Statists of the late 19th and entire 20th century(i.e. Karl Marx et al). Awesome book!!! These are the answers. I wish i lived in a country that followed this book
