Book Review: Back to Work

I just finished Bill Clinton's book Back to Work: Why We Need Smart Government for a Strong Economy. I liked it a lot. It's in the same conversational tone that Clinton speaks in. He talks a bit about how the economy got into the state it's in but also practical things we could be doing to fix it. It's not too partisan, like his presidency a lot of it is practical compromises that both parties should be able to agree upon. Well he really doesn't like the tea party notions that government is the cause of all problems and should be eliminated and that the only solution (to every problem) is to lower taxes. Still he good and bad things to say about both parties policies and lots of ideas that meet in the middle. It's a quick read and well worth it. I kept thinking that if a Republican could get past the author and would actually read it, they might agree with some of the things in it.
