Thanks for the great book recommendations. My “wake-up” source was Nomenklatura by Michael Voslensky. My lifetime of fuzzy liberal ideas evaporated after that book and I’ve not been the same since. Thank God.
Whether they are Democrat or Republican, politicians have now become a permanent class in the capital, existing along with a giant bureaucracy, operating the government for their own sake. Unless that is changed, they will simply continue to increasing until they bankrupt the country.
"Fun read and a great first effort. The characters have distinct personalities, the action is gripping and there's a sense of realism without becoming overly technical. It's a story that you think may have actually happened in the real world. On the downside, the start is a little stilted and the author doesn't hit his pace until about 30 pages in but this is a quibble. Make it that far and you'll be in for a treat. ." -- by Jim (Virginia)
