Benjamin Franklin's advice for America

from Bold and Blunt

The Founding Fathers would have been very pleased with some of the politics of modern America, but on the other hand, very displeased with others. Benjamin Franklin, in particular, would not favor the growth of government — but at the same time, he would appreciate some of the globalism that has advanced the economies of the world. Mark Skousen is an eighth-generation descendant of Franklin and has penned the book, "The Greatest American," aimed at showing why this founder-slash-inventor-slash-diplomat was truly so genius.
