Political Commentator, Nationally Syndicated Columnist & Author of What Works: Common Sense Solutions for a Stronger America
<ul><li><strong>The Bottom Line Isn't Necessarily the Bottom Line</strong></li><li>Over the past 40 years, we have tried everything in an effort to solve our major problems, from bigger government—and the higher taxes and increased spending to support it—to proposals for smaller government, lower taxes, and less spending. Now, politicians look to push big government again, only in a bigger way. What happened to self-evident truth to which our founders appealed? What profit is it if we gain wealth and success, but lose our souls? Is it too late to recover a moral sense, or does the new century and second millennium offer a unique opportunity to begin again?</li><li><strong>What Works: Common Sense Solutions for a Stronger America</strong></li><li>In What Works, Cal Thomas focuses on what promotes the general welfare, regardless of which party gets the credit. He provides answers to questions like: Why must we constantly fight the same battles over and over? Why don't we consult the past and use common sense in order to see that what others discovered long ago still works today? And why does Washington often look like the film <i>Groundhog Day</i>, with our elected officials repeating identical talking points from previous days, months, and years? Without letting politics or ignorance, get in the way, Thomas challenges audiences to pay attention so that politicians can no longer pick their pockets--literally or intellectually.</li></ul>
