He faults the Republicans for simultaneously cutting taxes and raising spending to alarming levels, resulting in ever-growing deficits. He says the Democrats are so enamored of entitlements that both Medicare and Social Security are ballooning way out of proportion. Peterson, who served as commerce secretary in the ...

"I brushed up on this book recently because I found it spooky how it predicted our current financial crisis back in 2004, without clouding the issues with party bias. Wish more people had read and understood this book back then!"
"This book wound up being a veiled attack on "supply side" economic theory(capitalism). The author makes unfounded assertions ; an example being that "supply side" doesn't work because Republicans lowered taxes and increased spending. Republicans acting like Democrats doesn't invalidate free market capitalism. I finished the book, but it wasn't worth it."
