About this ebook
With a pristine nature preserve in western Alaska as a backdrop, a father uses a fishing trip to bond with his daughter and discuss how to solve many of Americas most pressing problems. Free from television and social media, the pair enjoys the wilderness while discussing the factors leading to and the solutions to the National Debt. With a single topic each day, the duo examines major problems that were never foreseen by the Constitution. On Day One, the deterioration of the American Work Ethic is discussed. In my day, we ran to the school bus. Today the students waddle On the Day Two, there is a healthy exchange about the growth of the Welfare State and how the Donkey created it, but the Elephant has helped sustain it. On Day Three, there is an in-depth discussion about the causes of the National Debt. Finally, on Day Four, specific solutions are provided.
During this backwoods odyssey, the American Bald Eagle serves as a unifying symbol for the Republic at risk of economic deterioration, perhaps extinction, just like this supreme raptor was 40 years ago.
A premise is that the lower work ethic helps bring about the Welfare State that maintains itself at the expensive of the nations citizens and bankrupts the nation in the process. One conversation focuses on the causes the fall of the Roman Empire. Another discussion focuses on the impact of the Great Society upon the national economy today. Indeed, individual freedoms, such as the ability of the current generation to find a job or later to retire in comfort, are lost to an unsustainable national debt that dramatically reduces Americas competitiveness in a global economy.
The book ends with a call for collective action by Americans on a scale unseen since the Revolution of 1776 in order to change the direction of the Republic via a new political partythe Bald Eagle Party. This Party harnesses social media to counter the Entitlewave and present effective solutions to elimin

Taking Off
Erin, are you ready?
Yes.
OK. Let’s go.
My daughter and I boarded a seaplane in Anchorage, Alaska, for the 45-minute flight to the westernmost shore, a seaport called Homer. As we zoomed over the 50-foot conifer pines, I checked my camera equipment. I was particularly excited about this five-day retreat
because I knew I was going to come face-to-face with America’s national bird, the bald eagle. But the trip had a bigger meaning, which I was about to divulge to Erin. The eagle symbolized the real meaning of the voyage: How to save our republic.
As the plane skimmed across ice-blue rivers flanked by never-ending forests, I kept asking myself, Why me? Why was I chosen for this mission? Will I succeed? What will be Erin’s reaction to being chosen as the harbinger, indeed, the Paul Revere of the 21st century, to commence a revolution against the welfare state?
This will be my best chance, over these next five days, and I dare not let the nation down, I thought. In many ways this was tougher than being a Marine officer in Vietnam. There, I fired shots on behalf of America’s democratization of the planet. Now I must use analogies and carefully selected words to save our democracy from itself.
From the airplane we could see bears running from the prop noise, puffins on cliffs, and flocks of seagulls circling about schools of fish. I thought of Jonathan Livingston Seagull,
Richard Bach’s simple explanation of individual freedom told through the story of one bird learning how to fly against the order of the flock. For me the flock symbolized a bureaucracy that squashed freedom and made the innovator an outcast.
The analogy to modern America – some 40 years later – is inescapable. America needs to pioneer flight once again. It will spur the national commitment to solving its debt crisis brought upon the nation in 1964 by Lyndon Johnson’s Great Society. As young lads, my brother and I snuck into the nominating convention with phony press passes that year. I was too young to know the damage the Great Society would cause to our democracy. Everybody was. It was a political ploy to gain votes at the expense of the national treasury.
Now, I suddenly feel pressure to adequately explain the impact of the welfare state upon my daughter. Somehow she must be the patriot in the church tower who waves the lantern to alert his generation of the dangers that have infested the Great American Experiment in time to save our democracy.
As the seaplane gently floated to its pier at Homer Spit, I could hear somebody on the pier call out, Welcome to Eagle Country! Here you will see many reasons why America is great.
As we took the water taxi south across the bay to the lodge, I kept thinking that America is an experiment. Our Revolution was unique inasmuch as the
