In his thirty-year career representing the citizens of New Mexico
in the US Senate, Jeff Bingaman witnessed great things accomplished
through the legislative process. He also had a front-row seat for
the breakdown of governing norms and the radical increases in
polarization and partisanship that now plague what was once called
the world's greatest deliberative body. Breakdown: Lessons for a
Congress in Crisis traces the development of congressional
dysfunction over more than three decades and provides eight case
studies that examine how the crisis affects our government's
ability to meet major policy challenges. The case studies include
catalyzing a robust economy, confronting climate change, improving
health care, fixing education, preserving public lands, and
avoiding unnecessary wars. Presenting insightful analysis of the
causes and consequences of the dysfunction in Congress, Breakdown
shows how Congress fails at the tasks Americans expect it to
perform and, more importantly, how it might begin again to succeed.
