The Waxman Report: How Congress Really Works by Henry Waxman with Joshua Green. (Read via Physical Book)

This is not your typical political rhetoric book which I rather enjoyed.

The book is about Waxman’s history of being in congress. Most notably his achievements of some great policy he help put through. Like food labeling, the famous 7 tobacco goons, and many other things.

I could really sense his distain for the number of lobbyists that have invaded the United States political systems. It also showed how the media today does a very poor job of covering what is going on. But then again John Stewart presents that point beautifully on the daily show every day.

The only thing missing from the book was Waman’s honnest opinion of the state of the political system, and giving his opinion where it should progress to, or what the American Public needs to do.
