The State of the Republic. How the Misadventures of U.S. Policy since WWII have Led to the Quagmire of Today's Economic, Social and Political Disappointments - Harry Gael Michaels

The State of the Republic is an overview of significant political, social, and economic events since the end of WWII, along with a look at the criminal justice system, that has led up to the quagmire of disorder witnessed daily among our political leaders in Washington.

The American people are fraught with frustration and mistrust of our governmental leadership and children are growing up unsure of just what the nation's values are or what this country stands for. The conclusions are: American leadership in the world has digressed in moral/ethical stature and responsibilities; the federal government, itself, has become so politically incestuous that the people have lost control; crime, violence, and disorder have become rampant and a house cleaning in Washington is long overdue.
