John F.

"The $1.8 Billion Dollar Man is a metaphor for the broader economic crisis confronting the federal government. This challenge to the nation's fiscal safety is both real and symbolic, since the presidency is more than sum of its parts: it represents the power of the United States, at home and abroad, and these costs - while small in comparison to the overall budget - are a warning sign about the White House's excessive spending. For example: this administration spends $250,000 on flowers, another quarter-million on a cancelled Valentine's Day trip and then $1,000,000 on 'Unanticipated Needs' that no one can even describe. On top of these things, the White House spends nearly $155 million on 'Special Missions' that also warrant further inspection. The $1.8 Billion Dollar Man is an opportunity for taxpayers to get the facts about the growth in spending throughout our government.
"The $1.8 Billion Dollar Man presents this data in an intelligible and thoroughly documented fashion. The book takes readers on a sobering tour of the economic price of maintaining this sort of presidency. I welcome the opportunity for citizens of all political beliefs to purchase The $1.8 Billion Dollar Man, so they can further the debate about the innovative ways we can restore the nation's financial health," says John F. Groom.
