Review # 1 was written on 2009-02-24 00:00:00 Jim Johnston This closely researched and highly informative book left me powerfully angry, but it did not provide any sense of purpose. Most of the solutions proposed by Green would require the beneficiaries of a broken system to regulate themselves because the actual voters have already been cut out of the loop. A point that he ably demonstrated in the earlier chapters. While we do have some hope of shaming politicians into some restraint, I think that the current state of our infotainment media precludes any sustained groundswell for reform efforts. As a side note, while Green tended to tar Republican interests as the malefactors of this tail, many of his most egregious examples featured Democratic shenanigans.
