The Power of the Swing Vote (The American Enterprise Party merges capitalism and socialism into the Great American Enterprise)

from The American Enterprise Manifesto: My America's Vision of Peace and Nonviolence for Humanism · host Jerry Rhoads

The Untapped Power of the Swing Vote, by Linda Killian About the Author Linda Killian is a journalist and senior scholar at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars. She has been a columnist for Politico, U.S. News & World Report.com, and Politics Daily. She has also written for The Washington Post, The New Republic, and The Weekly Standard, among other national publications. Her previous book was The Freshmen: What Happened to the Republican Revolution? She lives in Washington, D.C. The Swing Vote: The Untapped Power of Independents tells the story of how our polarized political system is not only misrepresenting America but failing it. Linda Killian looks beyond the polls and the headlines and talks with the frustrated citizens who are raising the alarm about the acute bi-polarity, special interest-influence, and gridlock in Congress, asking why Obama's post partisan presidency is anything but, and demanding realism, honest negotiation, and a sense of responsibility from their elected officials. Killian paints a vivid portrait of the swing voters around the country and presents a new model that reveals who they are and what they want from their government and elected officials. She also offers a way forward, including solutions for fixing our broken political system. This is not only a timely shot across the bows of both parties but an impassioned call to I independents to bring America back into balance. Comments: This book has an array of earth-shattering comments from true patriots feeling the way I do and have acted upon it without breaking the good ole boys strangle hold on power. Declaring Independent as your third-party brand is like calling a Harley a bike. We need a brand that demands the involvement of patriots yes but also financial experts on governance by the Great American Enterprise who understand and believe the U.S. Chamber of Commerce debt clock www.usdebtclock.organd use it as the grade we give our failed (insolvent and bankrupt) two party establishment system. But declaring our independence is not enough to bring all 200 million enterprising Americans to our party. Yes, it takes leadership and the guts to … Drain the Swamp, Tame the Alligators In 2020 the deficit reached a record $4.4 trillion, $4.2 trillion in health care costs and the recorded debt of $28 trillion due to the Pandemic and bailing out the economy for the shutdowns forced upon small businesses that weren’t deemed as essential as government workers, big box stores and the largest corporations. But this is just the tip of the proverbial iceberg … we need to work with all the facts we have at hand. With the new administration coming on and the country still polarized and divided on solutions to problems, not Congressional and political rhetoric on issues … this may push us over the cliff with the decline in Federal and State tax revenues, higher cost of unemployment, cost of vaccines and PPE draining the bank accounts, small businesses closing forever being replace by bigger and bigger box stores and tech companies warehousing data using sublimated algorithms and censoring information, prices rising, profits plummeting and an Administration proposing more taxes, free college education, defunding the police, write-off of college debt, changing the Supreme Court, increasing the minimum wage, free health care that threatens funding for health care entitlements. How deep is the swamp (Federal and State governments) and what are the Alligators? The American Chamber of Commerce debt clock in New York City is the only source of transparency for watching second by second the expanse and depth of the swamp by alligator www.usdebtclock.com The biggest are the debt and the deficit spending.
