Full Faith and Credit

"Congress should require everyone -- especially all in government - to read this book. History teaches that every country that gets into our situation ends with crises and semi-crises, but perhaps we could head it off if we all listen. I doubt it, but at least you would all know what is coming and could perhaps prepare yourselves so you could survive."--Jim Rogers, author of Street Smarts: Adventures on the Road and in the Markets "In plain English and with colorful anecdotes and aphorisms aplenty, Axelrod leaves no one but George Washington unscathed. Pulitzer-winner Michael Ramirez's conservative cartoons adorn each chapter, but Axelrod is bipartisan in his criticism, applying scorn to both Theodore and Franklin Roosevelt, and to what he sees as the excesses of all the presidents since Kennedy."--Publishers Weekly "In Full Faith and Credit: The National Debt, Spending, and Bankrupting of America by Abbeville Press, the forthcoming book from historian Alan Axelrod, the focus is turned to America's impending debt crisis. Axelrod first takes the reader through the history of the American presidency from the Washington to Obama administrations, all through the lens of government spending, tax policies, and how the office of the president and the administrative state have evolved to give us the near-$20 trillion debt that Americans must address at some point. As an added bonus, the book even comes complete with color illustrations by cartoonist Michael Ramirez, making it much easier to read for those of us who don't spend most of our free time reading about United States fiscal policy."--Consevative Review Full Faith and Credit: The National Debt, Spending, and Bankrupting of America has been featured on: The Washington Times * Fox News * Fox Business * Townhall * "The Morning Wake-Up" with Chris Keach * "The Jon Sanchez Show" * "RealClear Radio Hour" with Bill Frezza * "AM Edition" with Darryl Berger & Joe Le Capote * "NightSide with Dan Rea" * "Coastal Daybreak with Ben Ball" * "Kevin Miller in the Morning" * "KRDO's Morning News Extra" * "The Talk of the Town with Nelle Reagan" * "The Bob Zadek Show" * "Liberty Watch Radio" with Charles Heller * "Inside Track" with Emil Franzi * "The Jimmy Barrett Show" * "KSVC Morning Show" with Robert & Kaden McBride * "American Adversaries" with Chris Hart * "The Sam Malone Show" * "All About Mitch" with Mitch Henck * "The Mike Schikman Show" * "The Dan Rivers Show"* "The Keith Singer Radio Show" * "KTHR Drive Time" with Nikki Courtney * "Ringside Politics with Jeff Crouere" * "The Nick Taliaferro Show" * "Morning Meeting" with Sean Secrease & Quaid * "American Radio Journal" with Lowman Henry * "The Scott Voorhees Show" * "Jordana Green" * "Western Michigan LIVE" * "The Jim Bohannon Show"* "The Talk of the Town with Larry Rifkin"* "The Riley O'Neil Show" * "The Morning Show with Frank Holland" * "MidDay News with Jim Lee and Tyler Bachman"* "Capital City Recap" with Michael Cohen* "The Captain's America" with Captain Matt Bruce * "The Bill LuMaye Show" * "The Michael Dukes Show" * "The Andy Caldwell Show" * "The Brian Thomas Morning Show"* "The Tom Roten Morning Show" * "The Carrie Davis Show" * "Tim Constantine's Capitol Hill Show" * "The Steve Cochran Show" * "Bill Martinez Live" * "The Bryan Crabtree Show" * "The Charlie Sykes Show" * "The Schilling Show" with Rob Schilling * "Trending Today USA" with Rusty Humphries * "The Steve Gruber Show" * "The Tron Simpson Show" * "The Jon Sanchez Show" * "Morning Wake-Up with Chris Keach" * "The Louie B.
