Book Description
"A century ago, President Wilson warned of danger in his best-selling book. What the Democrat did not reveal was Wall Street's vital help to achieve his election victory in 2012 over Main Street Republicans. Ostensibly a progressive, Wilson faithfully implemented during two terms Wall Street's goals in banking, taxes, Cabinet appointments, and war policy. A parallel situation exists today under President Obama, elected as a progressive but governing for the most part with a Wall Street-friendly deregulatory program and a tough-love austerity agenda. Jobs, savings, homes, health, constitutional rights, and public confidence are even more at risk than in Wilson's era. The federal government and its private overlords exert vastly more control over the nation's war-driven economy than a century ago. We are losing our freedoms and future. More dramatically, needless austerity will kill many Americans, especially those too old or unhealthy to fend for themselves. The scandals reported in Puppetry provide a clear path to reform. The facts sweep away the false histories and partisan posturing that dominates current political discourse. Puppetry is winning praise before publication from experts who understand the stakes."--Provided by publisher.
