Brilliant marriage of knowledge and common sense

This may have been published for political purposes (in part), but the wisdom contained between its covers sure makes sense to me. Gore goes out of his way to target waste within the government, spotlighting a host of needlessly duplicated work and costly contracts that do no one but the contractors any good. This series of problems and suggested solutions really comes across as a breath of fresh air, and it sadly demonstrates that many of the common-sense solutions are easy to identify and impossible to implement, even for top government officials.

Magnificient!

A great work in regards to politics...A must read!

Great

This is a fascinating look at how Vice-President Gore has worked to reduce the size of the federal government. It is easy to read and is very substantive. This book is a must read for every American!
