註釋Politicians talk of making tough budgetary decisions, yet every year the deficit continues to climb. Something's wrong here, yet the traditional rhetoric & answers just don't seem to be working. Helen Rogers, author of THE ELECTION PROCESS, SOCIAL SECURITY: AN IDEA WHOSE TIME HAS PASSED & THE AMERICAN DEFICIT: FULFILLMENT OF A PROPHECY, thinks she knows why. In THE DEFICIT, Rogers systematically reveals a plan for eliminating the federal deficit. In each chapter she examines popular myths about the causes of the deficit & outlines concrete steps that can be taken to ease the crisis. Rogers begins with waste, pointing out that we could have saved over $424 billion if waste cutting recommendations of the Grace Commission were adopted back in 1983. She goes on to address the issues of capital, privatization, deregulation, taxes, our GNP, trade exchange rates, international financial responsibility, banking policies, the budget process, & leadership. Whether the subject is government regulation of child care, or the gold standard, Rogers promotes her view with an engaging combination of humor & fact. Rogers' book is carefully researched. Her positions are clear & candid. But most remarkable is her vigorous applications of common sense. Rogers' book is substantive & refreshing.
