WHY WE NEED THE TRUTH, THE WHOLE TRUTH, AND NOTHING BUT THE
TRUTH The noise from both Washington and the media is deafening,
the deeds of our lawmakers alarming. America needs a break
from the posturing and the politicking. We need information:
how we got here and where we are headed. Catherine Crier,
one of the most respected figures in television journalism,
presents an incisive, unbiased analysis of America’s
political crisis—delivering a message we cannot afford to
ignore. America must move beyond political parties to invest in our
nation’s future. Not just with money, but with vision,
wisdom, and reason. Looking back at the foundations of our
country, from Adam Smith to Alexander Hamilton, from
Jefferson to Roosevelt, Crier cuts through the nonsense to
show what really works and doesn’t work for our nation
today, including: • The staggering disconnect between the financial health of
corporations and the well-being of consumers that defies
everything Adam Smith wrote about free enterprise. • The role that government must play in regulations and job
creation—and how the Republican Party’s anti-government
rhetoric would appall the founders of American conservatism. • Why our health care system is not the best in the world,
but the most mismanaged and bloated, and how to change it. • How today’s vitriolic, partisan politics are in direct
opposition to the very democracy on which our country is
founded.
