This book verified all the feelings that I've had about American Politics over the past 15 years or so. Ordinarily, when your opinions are verified, you feel good. This book just made me depressed. Nevertheless, it's a book that every voter should read.

An onslaught of information, fun for the impact alone . . . though it is about the collapse of an empire. oh well.

Everyone should read this book. It is a hard truth that we all know but seem to be in denial about. It will be up to us average folk to bring sense and justice to government (politics) since those in power are too vested with the ills which put them in power. This book is will written with concise, well constructed structure and flow. The author is humorous with minimal sarcasm. We need to stop putting our head in the sand!

Excellent review of how we are being duped by our elected officials.

*one warning - the author comes from the Republican tribe and it is easy to see how he feels that tribe has betrayed its common core and heritage.
