DESCRIPTION:
More poignantly, he argues that public officials we elect to represent the best interests of the people have sold us out, as government has become a partner to Big Oil, Big Media, and Big Pharma. In his prairie-populist voice peppered with incisive wit, Dorgan argues that we must rescue the economy from the influence of financial conglomerates and power brokers, and to hold our public officials accountable for regulating the economy.. With the recent financial collapse having proven him right, Dorgan exposes this modern-day carnival of greed and&nb
Reckless Enjoyed every bit of it!!! Much of it is old information, but when put together in sequence and understood completely, you can see how we were all fooled and used. Surely when the Republicans realize how they also were duped they will see how The Bush Administration and the Military Industry and the CIA were all involved and promoted companies like Halliburton to access huge amounts of money. Debt we will pay off for years to come.. Byron Dorgan is the smartest man in the room. Been following Senator Dorgan since I was a cub reporter in Bismarck, ND and was reporting on his activities since he was Tax Commissioner in North Dakota. A remarkable man and worth the time to read and understand his perspective. Especially so since he was one of only a small handful of 8 senators who voted against the Glass-Steagall act.. Every American, including all politicians should read this book! R. Porter Mr. Dorgan tells it like it is in Washington, from an insiders viewpoint. I can't believe how stupid some of our "representatives" are. I have a lot of respect for Mr. Dorgan.
In 1998, Dorgan was named the chairman of the Democratic Policy Committee, a position held by many before they become Majority Leader.. SENATOR BYRON DORGAN has served as senator from North Dakota since December 1992

DorganÖs arguments are convincing and credible, but his recounting of such issues as the mismanagement of Wall Street firms, the Bush regimeÖs mishandling of the Iraq War and the Bernard Madoff scandal seem late to the game and add little fresh analysis. . This former state tax commissioner takes wide aim, lambasting Bush and Cheney, financial institutions, the subprime mortgage mess, the current budget deficit, the Iraq War and war profiteering, big oil and what he regards as a flawed health-care system and grossly inequitable tax system.
