The American dream is fading: for nearly two decades, the economy has been performing below par, the quality of life has deteriorated, and the government has not confronted the public problems that concern citizens most. In this provocative book, Alice Rivlin offers a straightforward, nontechnical look at the issues threatening the American dream and proposes a solution: restructure responsibilities between the federal and state government. Under her plan, the federal government would eliminate most of its programs in education, housing, highways, social services, economic development, and job training, enabling it to move the federal budget from deficit toward surplus. States would pick up these responsibilities, carrying out a "productivity agenda" to revitalize the American economy. Common shared taxes would give the state adequate revenues to carry out their tasks and would reduce intrastate competition and disparities. The federal government would be freer to deal with increasingly complex international issues and would retain responsibility for programs requiring national uniformity. A primary federal job would be the reform of health care financing to ensure control of costs and to mandate basic insurance coverage for everyone. Published in the summer of 1992, Reviving the American Dream was read by presidential candidate Bill Clinton; by year's end, President Clinton appointed its author, Alice Rivlin, as deputy budget director. Today, the ideal in Rivlin's book—and Rivlin herself—are having an impact inside the administration. Selected as one of Choice magazine's Outstanding Books of 1993

Reviving the American Dream exposes the paradox of the 1980's excessive regulations on the American investment function, converting it from a free market economy to a corporate market economy. Therefore, after thirty years of this corporate market monopoly, we now have today, the "New Normal" aEUR" low growth, low labor participation, low wages, low interest rates, and low American moral. This American nightmare was expressed by our youth with their protest, "Occupy Wall Street". We can reverse this nightmare to the American dream by returning the competitive elements to the free market economy for the American investment function.

Completely updated edition of one of the classic works of conservative literature Long before the advent of conservative talk radio and Fox News, Robert Ringer was an outspoken advocate for the cause of freedom and free enterprise. In this classic work–updated for the 21st century–Ringer’s basic premise is that liberty must be given a higher priority than all other objectives. The economic and political calamity that he warned about in the late seventies is now upon us, and his new edition of Restoring the American Dream is sure to resonate with the feelings of today’s angry voters. In his book, Ringer explains that: • The American Dream is not about increased government benefits and government-created “rights,” but, rather, about individualism, self responsibility, and freedom–including the freedom to succeed or fail on one’s own • The barbarians are not at the gates; they are already inside • Ordinary citizens no longer tell their elected officials what to do. Rather, government tells them what to do–and backs it up with force • The desire of people to band together to bring about quick, short term solutions to their problems through government intervention has perpetuated a cycle that has nearly destroyed the American Dream With Washington continuing to expand government power and spending at a record pace, Restoring the American Dream is a voice of sanity in a world gone mad.

Every generation of Americans has to fight for our democracy the American dream of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Maintaining our system of individual freedoms is not easy and it's not free. It requires a continued effort to maintain and grow it in adherence to the principles on which it was founded. But the unraveling of the fabric of our society and pervasive corruption is choking our nation and undermining our freedoms. Action must be taken or more of our rights will slip through the cracks. The very founding of the United States was based on rebellion against oppression and suppression of individual rights by the British government. Subsequently, the two governing documents of our country, the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, were crafted to ensure and protect those very rights. We must be a generation that reads, believes, and defends these crucial documents. Let it not be said in the history books to come that our generation let freedom die for the small price of inaction and apathy. Our form of democracy, as embodied in the ideal that we can exist as a sovereign and independent nation of hardworking, peace-loving people, can only be pursued by Americans who will uphold these noble goals and values. It's time to remember the principles that made us great and help take our country back.

In 1956, Marco Rubio’s parents came to America as poor immigrants with grade-school educations. They found a land of opportunity where anyone could work hard, play by the rules, and build a better future for themselves and their children. His family proved the reality of the American Dream, where the children of maids and bartenders could become doctors, lawyers, small business owners, and maybe even a U.S. senator. But now the American Dream is on life support. Years of government-centered, tax-and-spend liberalism have failed to lift the poor or sustain the middle class. Millions of everyday Americans have been left behind by an economy that doesn’t value their skills and a government that would rather give them a handout than a hand up. In this follow-up to his bestselling memoir, An American Son, Senator Rubio offers a road map for restoring the land of opportunity. He explains why we now stand at a critical junction and why the next few years will determine the future for our children and grandchildren. He shares his plan for scaling back the nanny state, helping families save for college and retirement, and making it easier for small businesses to create millions of good jobs. Above all, he urges us to return to the values and can-do spirit that made our country exceptional in the first place.
