GOVERNMENT OF DECEIT

A New Book providing a sobering analysis of America’s finances, governance and society – and how we got here.

AVAILABLE ON AUGUST 20, 2010

Tampa Bay Area, Florida – Americans read in the newspaper and hear about the United States’ soon to be $14 trillion National Debt on nightly news reports but how many of us understand what that substantial number actually means? Do Americans understand how it has soared to such an unfathomable level, and how our country’s current financial situation will soon impact us in ways which were unthinkable just a couple of years ago?

A new book, entitled Government of Deceit, explores these compelling questions about government finances and numbers, providing insight and perspective into our country’s financial, legal, bureaucratic and political systems to help readers understand the American government and how it works.

After being personally impacted by the 2008 downfall of the real estate market, author Patrick D. McConnell channeled his energy and business acumen as a lifetime entrepreneur and “numbers guy” into finding out “what just happened” and “why it happened” to America’s economy. His thorough research, which includes 450 verifiable sources, and his analysis led to the subject of this book, which is a sobering analysis of America’s finances, governance and society – and how we got here.

Government of Deceit includes stunning revelations about government at all levels. Shocking facts revealed in Government of Deceit include:

• “Entitlement programs” have an unfunded liability of greater than $104 trillion. Your share is $367,000. Each man, woman and child owe the same.
• At the end of 2009, $3.2 trillion of the $12.9 trillion National Debt was spent, but never appeared on the government’s general budget. Where did the $3.2 Trillion go?
• In 2010, the federal government is borrowing 52 cents of every dollar that it spends on general operations. Just to balance the budget, spending will have to be cut by 52%.
• America’s financial situation is far worse than people can imagine. Over the next four years, the federal government will need to borrow at least $3.9 trillion and the world is basically running out of money for us.
• Through mathematical analysis of the federal government’s deficit and debt, McConnell concludes that America has one “last clear chance” in November.

Government of Deceit will be released on August 20, 2010 and may be purchased on this site for $24.95. It is the most important book to read this year before casting your vote on November 2, 2010!

Patrick McConnell will be available for media interviews, book signings and speaking engagements at community and civic clubs.
