You think you know why our government in Washington is broken, but
you really don't. You think it's broken because politicians curry
favor with special interests and activists of the Left or Right.
There's something to that and it helps explain why these
politicians can't find common ground, but it misses the root cause.
A half century ago, elected officials in Congress and the White
House figured out a new system for enacting laws and spending
programs--one that lets them take credit for promising good news
while avoiding blame for government producing bad results. With
five key tricks, politicians of both parties now avoid accounting
to us for what government actually does to us. While you understand
that these politicians seem to pull rabbits out of hats, hardly
anyone sees the sleight of hand by which they get away with their
tricks. Otherwise, their tricks wouldn't work. DC Confidential
exposes the sleights of hand. Once they are brought to light, we
can stop the tricks, fix our broken government, and make Washington
work for us once again. The book explains the necessary reform and
lays out an action plan to put it in place. Stopping the tricks
would be a constructive, inclusive response to the anger that
Americans from across the political spectrum feel toward what
should be our government.
