“A book that manages to be entertaining and irreverent while serving as an informative primer on a subject that is crucial to the future of all Americans.”
—New York Times
Before you vote in a national election, you should ask yourself: Where Does the Money Go? The acclaimed and essential work by Scott Biddle and Jean Johnson has been updated to reflect the recent financial crisis and the sweeping legislation passed by the Obama administration in its first years. Nonpartisan and well-balanced, Where Does the Money Go? is a candid, eye-opening, and delightfully irreverent guide to the ongoing federal budget crisis that breaks-down into plain English exactly what the Fat Cats in Washington, D.C. are arguing about.
This essential, nonpartisan guide to the US economy explains:
- The Federal Budget Crisis: The six key points you need to know about deficit spending, why the country spends more than it takes in, and what could happen if we don’t change course.
- Taxes and Spending: A clear tour of where the government’s money comes from (your paycheck) and where it goes, from farm subsidies for non-farmers to the Pentagon budget.
- The Entitlement Challenge: A straightforward look at why Social Security and Medicare are on an unsustainable path as the baby boomers retire, and why fixing them isn’t as simple as you think.
- Voter Education Toolkit: A nonpartisan “Voter Protection Kit” to help you cut through political rhetoric, understand what candidates are really saying, and make informed choices at the ballot box.
