This was written in 2009 and predicts all sorts of horrible things that Obama will bring about. Remember the rampaging inflation the stimulus caused? He predicted it. I do think that some of his complaints are valid, but they're often the result fo Obama being, like a majority of Republicans and Republicans, a corpratist rather than a socialist. On Obamacare, he starts out well, pointing out that doctors & nurses aren't so underutilized that assing millions of new patients won't gum up the works, but then he talks about a few Canadians who didn't want to wait their turn and came to the U.S. to get things done faster. I strongly suspect that there are a lot of Americans with untreated ailments because they don't have either health insurance or money. John Edwards cad a guy up on his campaign stage who was born with a cleft palate and had just had surgery in his 50s that enabled him to talk. This shouldn't happen. He's also inconsistent, saying that government shouldn't get involved in business, then demanding that AIG close or divest itself of its sharia-compliant products because the government owns a majority interest. Politics for me is very confusing and frustrating, but this book helped me understand better the current issues our country is going through. For instance, I always hear that big government is bad, but I had never understood why. Dick Morris explained so clearly the consequences and reasons behind the concepts. I found it extremely helpful! He was actually a political adviser for Bill Clinton for 20 years, but most of his views seem to be Republican. I'm a novice at all this political stuff but I found the book very enlightening! I'm finally starting to form my own opinions on things. He covered topics relating to health care, banking, Keynes economics, lobbying, military problems, etc.
What do You think about Catastrophe (2009)?
Those that don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it. The price is high.
