If you want a better Congress, you start by electing better congressmen. "For a Better Congress," makes the case for more substance in Federal elections and presents 50 questions which any credible candidate for Congress should be prepared to answer. With each question is a suggested response and action points for what a Better Congress would do. There is also a discussion for each inquiry which can range from a few paragraphs to a few pages. Starting with the provocative inquiry, "Can the United States Bounce a Check?" this work challenges the reader as well and provokes sometimes out of the box thinking on national defense, the economy, the environment, health care and elder care, personal freedom and liberty, and governance.
