appropriations and expenditures

Analyzes the individual costs of the war on terror for Americans both in taxes and in lifestyles and examines how decreased taxes and increased deficit spending has effected military operations and national security.

Provides insight and perspective as to the inner workings of the American government's fiscal strategy through the ages and looks at various responses through the years to economic crises, wars, and recessions.

This book explores how the U.S. government is involved with our money.

Identifying what the author believes to be a battle between the priorities of civilian life and the war, the host of the critically acclaimed The Rachel Maddow show explains that today's focus on national security is actually compromising national stability, tracing the historical events and contributing factors that have promoted a deeply militarized American culture.
