New York: Pantheon, April 2012. Hardcover. First edition (stated) / full number line. Fine book in a Fine jacket. Not from a library. Red dot to bottom edge. Not clipped. 352 pages.
White House Burning demystifies the national debt, explaining whence it came and, even more important, what it means to you and to future generations. It tells the story of the Founding Fathers' divisive struggles over taxes and spending. It charts the rise of the almighty dollar, which makes it easy for the United States to borrow money. It y accounts for the debasement of our political system in the 1980s and 1990s, which produced today's dysfunctional and impotent Congress. And it shows how, if we persist on our current course, the national debt will harm ordinary Americans by reducing the number of jobs, lowering living standards, increasing inequality, and forcing a sudden and drastic reduction in the government services we now take for granted. It also provides a clear and compelling vision for how our debt crisis can be solved while strengthening our economy and preserving the essential functions of government.
