The State Knows Best: How Corruption Destroyed Our Law Enforcement and Left Americans Defenseless by Connor Vasile (1 Review)    Price verified 3 hours ago

America is falling. Thanks to bureaucratic incompetence and spineless politicians who bend to social justice bullies, Americans are left with a government that doesn't care about them, their safety, or their future. To add insult to injury, the same people who couldn't be bothered to increase patrols in our neighborhoods, crack down on rising violent crime, and actually keep criminals locked behind bars, are fighting to take away our right to self-defense. Left without any means to protect ourselves, America will start to look like a third-world country. From the Summer of Love riots in 2020 to continuing efforts at lowering already mediocre police training requirements, we've seen our public officials concern themselves more with optics than with the people's safety. While activists and politicians capitalize on select instances of police brutality and call for the defunding and abolishment of police as a whole, Americans are made victims by career criminals who are practically ...

Surrender: How the Clinton Administration Completed the Reagan Revolution by Michael Allen Meeropol (6 Reviews)    Price verified 5 hours ago

Michael Meeropol argues that the ballooning of the federal budget deficit was not a serious problem in the 1980s, nor were the successful recent efforts to get it under control the basis for the prosperous economy of the mid-1990s. In this controversial book, the author provides a close look at what actually happened to the American economy during the years of the "Reagan Revolution" and reveals that the huge deficits had no negative effect on the economy. It was the other policies of the Reagan years--high interest rates to fight inflation, supply-side tax cuts, reductions in regulation, increased advantages for investors and the wealthy, the unraveling of the safety net for the poor--that were unsuccessful in generating more rapid growth and other economic improvements. Meeropol provides compelling evidence of the failure of the U.S. economy between 1990 and 1994 to generate rising incomes for most of the population or improvements in productivity. This caused, first, the electoral ...
