Download Drain the Swamp: How Washington Corruption Is Worse Than You Think AudioBook Free
Lavish people. Committee chairmanships for sale. Pay-to-play corruption. Backroom arm-twisting. Votes on major legislation going to the best bidder. Congressman Ken Buck (R-CO) is blowing the whistle on the real-life House of Credit cards happening behind the moments inside our nation's capital. Elected in 2014 as chief executive of 1 of the greatest Republican freshman classes ever to get into Congress, Buck quickly came to the realization why nothing at all gets done in Congress, and it is not because of politics gridlock - in truth, Republicans and Democrats interact all too well to fleece taxpayers and plunge America much deeper into debt. "It is an insular process aimed by power-hungry get together elites who live like kings and govern like bullies," Buck reviews. Buck has observed firsthand the way the unwritten guidelines of Congress continuously prioritize short-term politics gain over lasting, principled command. When Buck tangled with Washington power brokers like past Speaker John Boehner, he encountered petty retaliation. When he insisted Republicans keep their phrase to voters, he was berated on the House floor by his own get together market leaders. When other participants of Congress dared to do what they thought to be befitting America instead of what the get together bosses commanded, Buck observed them stripped of committee positions and even denied dining room privileges by the petty beltway bullies. In Drain the Swamp, Buck titles names and says incredible true reviews in what really happened behind closed doors in Congress during legislative fights which may have ensued over the last 2 yrs, including budget, continuing resolutions, omnibus, trade promotion authority, Iran, and even more.
