Democracy on the Edge: A Discussion of Political Issues in America

Trying to make sense of political issues in the United States can be challenging, especially with the “spin” placed on so many issues by media and politicians. If you are fed up with lies and half-truths and want real answers, look no further! Democracy on the Edge discusses these important issues: • The Supreme Court’s decision on “Citizens United” • How gun ownership is a right but has limitations • The effects of global warming (by W. K. Fifield, MD) • How health care issues affect all Americans • The influence of big business on American lives • Causes of the “Financial Crisis,” and what Congress has done • The Tea Party and their conflicting views • America’s deep debt and plans to dig out of it While based on verifiable facts, Democracy on the Edge is also filled with Terry’s flare for personal anecdotes and humorous quips that make the book delightful to read.
