In these troubling times of intractable fiscal and social distress, Nader offers a new program to help rescue America: \u003cem\u003eThe Seventeen Solutions\u003c\/em\u003e. His powerful, paradigm-shifting proposals address some of the most pressing concerns in our country today—from corporate crime to tax reform to health care and housing—and they should find a receptive audience not only among liberals, progressives, disillusioned Democrats, Rachel Maddow fans, and Occupy Wall Street supporters, but all concerned Americans.\u003cbr\u003e | \u003cp\u003eMore than ever, America needs fresh ideas—and bold solutions.
