Review of "Stealing You Blind: How Government Fat Cats are Getting Rich Off of You."

Ten Outrageous Government Boondoggles

And Dozens More Shocking Examples of Waste and Greed

"If you believe public servants should serve the public and not themselves, get this book."—Michelle Malkin

I have long been on the bandwagon to open the door to what happens behind closed doors in Washington.  Now here is a guy who has the guts to publish some of the real facts and figures about what us Taxpayers are on the hook for.  You'd think we were nothing more than a bunch of dumb cattle coming when the bell is sounded and then being milked for everything we have.  

Did you know:

• Washington spends $92 billion on corporate welfare versus $71 billion on homeland security  ( just take a trip to the AZ or TX border and see how well that is working out) 
• Washington spent $1.8 million to help build a private golf course in Atlanta, Georgia (Now let's see, who is that plays more golf than any other president???)
• Los Angeles spent $111 million in stimulus money—to create 55 jobs (and I bet that money didn't end up in the hands of the workers either!) 

Since Crime INC has taken office the new motto for this country has emerged: Government by the bureaucrats, for the bureaucrats and of the bureaucrats.  And what's worse, it's for their preservation of a lifestyle we could only dream of attaining. 

Author Iain Murray in his shocking new exposé Stealing You Blind: How Government Fat Cats are Getting Rich Off of You points out in witty prose what happens in what used to be the People's house and the senate. 

Blowing the whistle on the out-of-control bureaucracy, inflated salaries, sky-high pensions, and so called "work" that defines the public sector, Murray unveils the unbelievable truth about where—and how—American's hard earned money is being spent. Murray reveals just how much goes into the pockets of bureaucratic officials, their incompetent government workers, lazy union bosses, and even educators banned from the classroom. 

"Our government claims they have The People's best interest in mind," says Murray, "but politicians and bureaucrats siphon taxpayer money to benefit only themselves and their cronies." 

Filled with shocking stories of boondoggles and bloat, Stealing You Blind is a rousing call to reclaim our rights as taxpayers and save our economy from the bureaucrats who are driving America to financial ruin.

Welcome to My World

Well, Well, Well.  You all know what you're thinking.  That fool, that idiot, that crazy old SOB....now what's he up to?  I have read over 10,000 books and counting.  Read 10 or more each week.  What's a guy to do with all that knowledge?  Could run a company.  Done that.  Several times. I know, I know, I KNOW....that doesn't matter to anyone.  Could elect a congressman.  Done that....but not here.  Someone told me I wasn't sophisticated enough for Arizona politics.  Being a Southerner, politics and football are the only sports and both are bloody.  But....for another day.  So here's the deal.  I will give you a brief overview of the books that I believe are important.  If you have one that you think I haven't read...try me.  So hold on to your seats, we're ready to rock this world!!! 
I want to be notorious, more notorious than John Dillinger/I want to be called Mr. Music........
