Requests:  0 Summary:  "An acerbic, no holds barred indictment of business as usual in Washington, DC--where our elected leaders provide a fig leaf for those who really hold the levers of power--by a 28-year veteran of the Hill, the bestselling author of The Party Is Over Have you ever noticed that behind all the mud-slinging and invective there isn't much difference between the parties? For all of his big talk and promises of change, Obama is basically Bush lite. And Hillary--or Jeb--will be more of the same. We spend ten times more on the political circus leading up to elections than any other country, but what are we getting for all of that money? The truth, as Mike Lofgren reveals in this devastating takedown of beltway business, is that our elected leaders provide a fig leaf for those who really hold the levers of power, the unelected functionaries of our ever-growing bureaucracies who decide America's defense, intelligence, and foreign policy and the corporate titans who control them. If it sounds like House of Cards it's because there is more truth to that than you might care to believe. Mike Lofgren draws on his three decades on the Hill to take you behind the scenes and map out where ower is really held in Washington, in the bowels of what he calls "the deep state.""--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 320.973 Lo Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult Nonfiction 320.973 Lo Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 320.973 Lo Checked In Add Copy to MyList Pahoa P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 320.973 Lo Checked In Add Copy to MyList
