America is in trouble. Our massive national debt is eating up our country’s wealth at an alarming rate. Best-selling author and historian Peter Jedick uses examples from his various careers as a professional fireman, substitute teacher and cab driver to explain in simple terms how over the last 50 years President Lyndon Johnson’s “Great Society” bankrupted America while destroying our inner-city neighborhoods. As our national debt and our national poverty rate both soar to historic heights, Jedick offers a wide range of innovative ideas on how to fix our broken political system.
