It's Over ... I'm Sorry (ePub)

Money in Politics is at an all-time high with dark money and super-PACs dominating our elections and politics. Middle-class and lower income wages have been stagnant for decades. The U.S. Government is spending out of control with a current debt of over $21 Trillion and annual deficits predicted to be over a trillion dollars for the foreseeable future. Taxes on the rich and powerful are effectively at an all-time low and globalization is costing Americans jobs and wealth with no end in sight. Wealth inequality is the worst it has been since before the great depression and our government and Congress have no answers to solve our numerous fiscal and inequality problems. In this book, Dr. Keith Hathaway, PhD provides an honest and brutal assessment of the current state of U.S. fiscal policies and describes how the problems we are facing are self-inflicted wounds based on decisions made by the elite and politicians over the last 40 years. He describes how his generation has changed the rules of politics and the economy in dramatic ways and how these purposeful, structural changes will lead to economic disaster that will seriously affect the poor and middle-class. Mostly, Dr. Hathaway sees no hope for our country to change our fundamental economic problems because the establishment and elite don't want to fix them. The rules have been changed in our lifetime to favor the rich and powerful and the establishment interests are more than happy to let their disastrous policies continue.
