Call the Question The Only Path to Fix American Politics Right Now
America politics is broken. It's a lot worse than you think; you don't even know half of the story. But that's all about to change.This book blows the lid off of the story not told, of political games played by America's Congress. Over the last 40 years Congress has been late in 36 out of the last 40 years, in passing the Annual Appropriations that fund the federal government; do an Internet search: Continuing Appropriations. Congress has been late 19 straight years; total of 1,936 days plus Fiscal Year 2016 which is not done, and 69 days late.It's worse than that looks. This book tells of every dishonest turn and trick. Highlighting the games played on every Debt Ceiling Increase of the last 23 years. Included: a catalog of 14 Articles of Impeachment against America's Congress.86 of America's 100 Senators have never passed the Annual Appropriations on time. The last time Congress did their job "correctly" and on time: September 30, 1996. But the story is far more unpleasant than just these numbers. The full story told in this book explains why American politics today is so truly and utterly broken. The road ahead looks dark.This book has been re-tooled in the last month, with over one hundred pages added, fully exposing the many secrets behind the sneaky-secret, Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015, just passed by The Congress, "solving" the immediate "Debt Crisis." Except it didn't. 9 great truths about that Budget Act are noted, including #2: the dirty little secret, hidden there in plain sight -- the next President faces a $250 billion Debt Crisis, that goes "pop" on March 16, 2017, less than 60 days after taking the oath of office. Why?This President and this Congress have agreed to the spending to be done, for all of Fiscal Year 2017, which runs to October 1, 2017. The checks that they will eventually okay (under the budget/debt law passed) will spend until October 2017. But the Debt Deal done only suspends the Debt Ceiling until March 15, 2017. The anticipated Deficit for FY 2017, latest OMB estimate is $463 billion, means that $250 billion of that Deficit in FY 2017 isn't covered by this deal. Welcome to office, Madam President, Mister President: we have a $250 billion Debt Crisis. Oh: and the Sequester will still be around, causing problems! As soon as this book is bought, read and reported by even a few journalists and commentators: everything changes. The Presidential campaign for 2016 will not be the same. The prime issues that will be talked about: have just changed, for good. Think not; fine. We'll see how long it takes-and who it will be-for a Presidential candidate, having read this book, to scream: the incomplete Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015 needs to be re-done: immediately. American politics is about to change, overnight. This book will be the spark to the very next chapters of that story.
