This book is about money and debt and how too much of one leads to another. The United States has forgotten its legacy of frugality and hard work, espoused by the founding fathers including Thomas Jefferson. The financial mess that has caused a monumental fifteen trillion dollar debt needs to be corrected. Correcting a bad situation will not be painless. Socrates spoke of debt before he was sentenced to death for teaching the truth. Let our politicians also face the truth.
