Our Country is going broke, our educational system is failing, 45 million Americans are without healthcare insurance - those with it are losing it, oil prices are up, the economy down. We are once again involved in a "quagmire" overseas. The lessons we refused to learn from Vietnam have come back to haunt us in Iraq.

We are living in the most fiscally irresponsible administration in our nation's history while abolishing social programs. We have politicians who have lost touch with the average American and their plight.

The true divisions are not between the "blue" and "red" states but between the powerful interest groups and the disenfranchised. Between the rich and the poor.

Shirene Hansotia gives us insight into how to address the looming problems in Iraq and in our own backyard. This book gives a great deal of insight into the political realm. A fascinating read that tells it like it is and offers hope for our future. Shirene Hansotia writes with great knowledge. She has tackled a very serious subject matter and done it with insight, wit and humor. This is a very informative book and a must read for anyone interested in the state of our economy.
