Saving America: 7 Proven Steps to Make Government Deliver Great Results

National polling indicates that, for the first time in American history, people believe their children will not be as well off as they are. Even more alarming, is that many Americans believe the biggest problem facing our nation today is government itself. The public sector receives trillions of taxpayer dollars every year, and yet because of its inability to operate effectively, government fails to deliver the quality of service we are paying for. It is clear the American people are weary of paying Ritz Carlton-level taxes for Bates Motel-quality government. In Saving America, Mark Aesch tells us where government—at the local, state, and federal level—is falling short and offers a coherent, non-partisan, seven-step plan for rebuilding our nation's public agencies. The book is not a political broadside nor is it theoretical; instead, it's an inspirational and instructional framework that will help citizens, elected officials, and public administrators make American government great—and provide taxpayers with real value. The 7 Steps to Success will lead to measurable gains for organizations large and small, including school systems, municipal governments, entire states, and even the federal government itself, producing real results for taxpayers and consumers.
