    ACTION PLAN FOR ARKANSAS 2015 Dan Greenberg and Alexander Cartwright, editors i “For many years now, you and I have been shushed like children and told there are no simple answers to the complex problems which are beyond our comprehension. Well, the truth is, there are simple answers; they just are not easy ones.” – Ronald Reagan ©2014 Advance Arkansas Institute ii Introduction The citizens of Arkansas face large challenges – challenges that arise not only from our sputtering recovery from one of the longest recessions in our nation’s history, but also from a legacy of bad decisions by Arkansas policymakers. The difficulties that we face are temporary, but the ideas and values that will enable us to triumph over our difficulties are eternal. If our leaders’ choices are inspired by the American traditions of individual liberty, free markets, lower taxes, and limited, transparent, and accountable government, those choices will pave the way for the kind of economic growth and job creation that will ensure our continued advancement. Such traditional values are at the center of American civilization; they remain as timely as the ideas that animated the American Revolution. In much of the world today, political change is only achieved through violence. But in Arkansas and in America, we can trust the counsel of the Book of Isaiah: “Come, let us reason together.” Our Action Plan for Arkansas is a sourcebook of solutions for those who believe that bedrock American values should inform policymaking in Arkansas. Each chapter of the Action Plan for Arkansas reviews a specific problem that our state faces today and explains how traditional American values can provide a solution.
