The Fifteen Biggest Lies in Politics
- Binding: Paperback
- Publisher: St Martins Pr
- Publish date: 01/01/2000
Description:
Forget about "that woman." Lies are being told in Washington that affect us much more deeply. Congressman Timothy Penny (D/MN) left Congress in disgust after six terms; Major Garrett, a correspondent for The Washington Times and NPR's All Things Considered, has been covering Washington at least as long.
Expand description
Issued in paperback just in time for the elections, this book opens our eyes to the bald lies behind what we think of as the basics of American government. Among them:
-- Tax cuts are good
-- The budget is about to be balanced
-- Money buys elections
-- Republicans want to shrink governmenty
-- Democrats are compassionate
Penny and Garrett show why these notions took hold, how the politicians manipulate them -- and, most important, how the voter can keep from getting fooled. Hard-hitting, eye-opening, and fair to all sides, The 15 Biggest Lies in Politics should be in the hands of every registered voter in America.
