ISBN 023111432X "Choices about national priorities are arguably the most important made by the federal government, profoundly affecting the well-being of citizens. Bruce S. Jansson documents how presidents, from FDR to Clinton, have made questionable choices that wasted trillions of dollars. Going beyond the charges of corruption or bureaucratic waste, the book is an eye-opening expose that reveals innumerable useless projects (military as well as civilian), unnecessary tax concessions, and the use of interest payments to cover deficit spending, among other costly mistakes." 492pp.
