American governance is incapable of meeting the needs of the people and has put the country on a path to financial crisis. Today's turmoil has spawned general discontent and widespread frustration, but there seems to be no way out. This essay is not a prescription for restructuring, reforming or remaking the federal government. Rather, it takes a step back, and suggests a vision for reforming the system of American governance that can capture the imaginations of Democratic, Republican and Independent voters. Refreshingly devoid of partisan accusations, and written from a viewpoint that most Americans truly want what is best for the country, the essay provides an insightful look at how the federal government has become gridlocked, why it has come to dominate the governmental system and the consequences of its over-involvement. And then it offers a way forward with a package of reforms that reflect American values and traditions. About the author: Payne Edwards is a writer and consultant with experience in the federal government. He lives in Virginia.
