How to Restore America

America is like a sick person whose health is ever so slowly declining. The most reliable indication that a person is sick is how they feel. In the same way, we can feel that our country is not well and only getting worse. It is this feeling that motivates us to find a cure. Our nation is facing a crisis, and this crisis involves the very fiber that holds us together. It is an economic crisis for sure, with inflation, high interest rates, high levels of debt, and vast wealth and income inequality. But an economic crisis is always accompanied by moral and ethical degradation as well. We have become a nation that is divided, angry, bitter, and self-serving. One needs to look no further than our leadership for proof. Far too many are no longer proud of our great nation. Sure, there are a few that are doing exceedingly well and they will say that everything is fine, but that too is further evidence of the great disparities that exist. The system of government that was established when our nation was born was a good one, but over time that system has become distorted and corrupt. Our government is supposed to do only one thing – work for the good of the people, but it has become dysfunctional and is failing to do so. In order to restore the equality, prosperity and pride that every American deserves, we need to put the missing pieces of the puzzle back into place. In this series, we discuss each of those missing pieces. These are the pieces that must be restored in order to bring our country back to a state of good health.
