Unaccountable Congress: It Doesn’t Add Up

by  Joe DioGuardi, former New York Congressman

Congress is out of control. Both the House and the Senate have shown a flagrant disregard for their constituents’ pocketbooks, as well as their opinions, and now we’re on the path to unsustainable debt. But this problem didn’t happen overnight—it’s been building up for decades.  Joe DioGuardi saw this clearly when he was in Congress, and has written a timely, must-read book for anyone who wants to stop wasteful spending and force Congress to be responsible. 

In Unaccountable Congress: It Doesn’t Add Up, Certified Public Accountant and former New York Congressman Joe DioGuardi reveals in an entertaining, easy-to-read style:

·       Why the remedy isn’t as simple as putting a halt to spending—deceptive practices and gimmicks Congress uses keep citizens in the dark about what it spends and what the taxpayers owe

·       How the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 will put us further into debt

·       How we arrived at the financial crisis in 2008, the steps Congress took, and why the same thing will happen again, unless we act

·       How Congress deceives the public and how to stop it

·       How the Enron, Tyco, and WorldCom scandals pale in comparison to Congressional practices

·       What members of both political parties have lacked the knowledge or discipline to do and what they must do now

Unaccountable Congress: It Doesn’t Add Up is more than a book.  It’s a motivator, a “how-to” guide, and an exposé that America has needed since the Vietnam War costs were covered up in the 1960’s.  Powerful and courageous, Unaccountable Congress makes a significant contribution to understanding and solving the problem of our nation’s finances.
