First Printing of the First Edition (stated). A lively, interesting discussion of the history of the American political parties and their politicians' oft-bespoken promises to balance the US budget, and how and why the promises always come to naught - only to be replaced by new promises - and what the average citizen can do about the mess. Has much information on the infighting and wrangling that goes on behind closed doors in Washington as well as the phony political posturing that occurs before media cameras, and how processes like budget negotiations are really hammered out in reality. Hardcover with dust jacket, contains notes, indexed, 337pp. A very nice copy. Rare. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
