    27 - Doctor, fix me! I’ll pay you anything!

    If we have healthcare insurance, we can agree to whatever treatment our doctor recommends. We don’t care if the cost is unreasonable. The forces of supply and demand do not apply to medical services and products. Based on the book "Reclaiming Our Nation - Fixing Democracy" available on Amazon.

    26 - You kids get off of my lawn!

    We need laws and we must follow them. If a despot should gain control of our government, they get to rewrite the laws. It is never pretty. At that point, democracy ends. No citizen militia can overthrow a dictator in control of the nation’s armed forces. The only medicines for despotism are preventative ones.

    25 - Education - My poppa tole me what to think!

    24 - What do you mean I “have to” work?

    While we work, we think of the sacrifices and struggles of our forebears, how they helped us and how we wish to help our children in similar ways.

    23 - This country is run by socialists! Leave me alone!

    The “nanny state” is a symptom of a broken government system. Like in a dictatorship, other people decide what is best for us, whether we agree with them or not.

    22 - Let’s make the kids run the government!

    A big issue related to the secondment of fresh people into bureaus, the staffing of deliberation teams, and getting non-politicians into legislative roles, is how these programs will be staffed.

    21 - Government Service – How about Conscription?

    If we acknowledge that we, the citizens of our nation, are responsible for governing ourselves and that, as a citizen-body, we are the government, it is in our best interests to contribute, individually, to its wellbeing.

    20 - Government Bureaucracy: How to fix a broken bureau

    Privatizing the government bureaus is NOT the solution for busting up bureaucracy. The solution is in staffing systems where fresh ideas come from fresh people within the bureaus themselves.
