Newt Gingrich belongs in the category of the exceptional." - Time magazine (from the rear outer cover) ".Today we can begin to win the future again. The key is to follow Lady Thatcher's rule that "first you win the argument, and then you win the vote." The argument is that we are a nation founded on a unique set of principles that have made us the most innovative, entrepreneurial, compassionate, and generous nation in the history of human existence. We need a government that defends our founding freedoms and respects and supports the society they have built. If we can win this argument, the voting will be an afterthought. We will have transformed the world, again." - short excerpt from the Introduction. "In the twenty-first century, America could be destroyed. The dangers are manifold: Terrorism. Judges who think they're God (and who are anti-God). Rising economic challenges from China and India. Immigrants and young Americans who know little about American history and values. Can America survive? Yes, says Newt Gingrich, and we as Americans can do more: We can create a safer, more prosperous, and healthier America for our children and grandchildren. How? By enacting a 21st Century Contract with America. When he was Speaker of the House, Newt Gingrich issued his first Contract with America. What was the result? Sweeping reform that shocked Washington and spurred an economic recovery for the nation, including the first major tax cut in sixteen years; real, lasting welfare reform; and four years of balanced budgets. But the challenges now are even starker, and Newt is back with a plan for American greatness that includes: How to win the War on Terror - how Ronald Reagan's winning strategy in the Cold War can be adapted and modified to win this new global struggle; How to re-establish God in American public life - without God, America ceases to be America, which is why leftists are so keen on banishing our Creator; How to reform Social Security - and improve your retirement earnings - before Social Security bankrupts the nation and the next generation of taxpayers; How to restore patriotism to American schools - and insist on patriotic learning for new immigrants; How to make American health care the global standard for excellence and accessibility - while reducing health care costs; and much more. The challenges of the twenty-first century are great, says Newt Gingrich, but so are the opportunities. The decisions we make over the next four years will determine our future. And no book can be more important for making the right choices than Newt Gingrich's Winning the Future: A 21st Century Contract with America.". Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 002795
