More than half the book focuses on the intense 44-day crisis in June and July 2011 when the United States came to the brink of a potentially catastrophic default on its debt. Based on eighteen months of reporting, the author presents a well-documented examination of how President Obama and the highest profile Republican and Democratic leaders in the U.S. Congress attempted to restore the American economy and improve the federal government's fiscal condition over three and a half years. Providing verbatim, day-by-day accounts, he shows what really happened, what drove the debates and struggles that continue to define the American future. 000466527 60010 $$aObama, Barack. 000466527 650_0 $$aBudget$$zUnited States. 000466527 650_0 $$aBudget deficits$$zUnited States. 000466527 650_0 $$aGovernment spending policy$$zUnited States. 000466527 650_0 $$aFiscal policy$$zUnited States. 000466527 651_0 $$aUnited States$$xEconomic policy$$y2009- 000466527 651_0 $$aUnited States$$xEconomic conditions$$y2009- 000466527 651_0 $$aUnited States$$xPolitics and government$$y2009-2017. 000466527 85200 $$bgen$$hHC106.84$$i.W664$$i2012 000466527 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:466527$$pGLOBAL_SET 000466527 980__ $$aBIB 000466527 980__ $$aBOOK
