It would have gotten 1 star were it not for the last chapter.. This book is like a 200 page Republican talking point campaign speech. 70% complaints and 30% solutions and with very few specifics.

I thought Republicans never did any name calling. Look, if you are a reader who have not heard any Republican speeches in the last couple years this might be news to you, If you have, don't waste your time and skip to the last chapter where he does have some reasonable fixes for Social Security and actually breaks party ranks and says we might look into the use of and spending by the military in our spending cuts.
