Description
The purpose of NEITHER HERE NOR THERE is to give an honest account of one personal journey from the old country (the Netherlands) to America. It looks back at how the author perceived the choice he had to make and how he perceived the future for America versus the Netherlands. It looks back at the conditions under which the author grew up in post war Europe and it compares the expectations he had of a future in America with how it turned out. In the process, the book aims to contribute to an urgently needed civil discourse on what is going right and wrong in America and what might be done to make good on the quest for American Exceptionalism.

Logical arguments on issues our political system chooses not to addressBy Jeff Simson October 3, 2014Format: PaperbackMr. Jager has written a thought provoking and challenging commentary on a number of key issues that our country is failing to address. Whether the problem is a growing inequality of opportunity or an immigration system that makes legal immigration difficult and illegal immigration easy (author’s words), the author’s conclusion that the country is simply not be governed to address these issues is inescapable. Jager presents his arguments in clear and logical terms and while you may not agree with his sometimes radical solutions, you'll turn the last page wishing that we had more of this type of honest, intellectual examination in our government and political parties.
