A must read for democrats, republicans and independents
Gross identifies stunning, pathetic, and gargantuan excesses by our Federal Government. Worse, he explains in terms that anyone can understand the lies and corruption of Republicans and Democrats alike to "cook the books" in their politically motivated quest to proclaim America has a "balanced budget."Concrete descriptions of duplicate government programs and massive inefficiencies abound in the book, so much so that examples for less than a billion dollars seem inconsequential. Moreover, Gross explains many of the underlying reasons for government waste and offers various pragmatic solutions for reducing and eliminating the waste without materially impacting public services.Everyone who votes needs to read this book and then march on Washington, 60's style, and demand massive reforms. And when better than during this, a presidential election year.
