Title: The fifteen biggest lies in politics
First published: 1998
Description: From social issues like religion, gun control, and abortion to the most controversial economic issues - Can the budget really be balanced? Will Social Security survive? How about Medicare? - Garrett and Penny clearly and definitively assess the difference between what we've been told and what's really going on.

There are no sacred cows in this book: Republicans and Democrats alike are held accountable for twisting statistics, ignoring or misrepresenting major voter concerns, and settling for quick fixes where serious solutions are desperately needed.
