Homeland Security Scams

Informationen zum Autor James T. Bennett Klappentext In the view of the author! the War on Terror is being used to justify a huge expansion of government powers and spending! but funds allocated for homeland security are often for programs far removed from anything that might be termed defense or security. In Homeland Security Scams! James T. Bennett shows that this government spending is doing very little to make us safer! but a great deal to make us poorer! less free! and more dependent on the federal government. He sternly warns that the War on Terror is also a War on Privacy and a War on Liberty.
