What is the national debt? Who loses from it? Who profits from it? Why is it a greater threat to America than international terrorism? In direct, non-partisan language, this book follows the money and finds the answers.
Conservative, Liberal, Republican, Democrat, Libertarian, Socialist . . . Each has a laundry list for America on which the slow-motion cataclysm of unsustainable national debt is but a lonely bullet point among dozens of others. Full Faith and Credit zooms in on that point, liberates it from partisan programs and political orientations, expands it, explores it, and explains it.
The book examines key dimensions of our national life?from a military-industrial complex more menacing than even Eisenhower could have imagined to a Tower of Babel tax code that covertly translates taxes into secret subsidies. With the aim of converting bystanders into informed advocates of change, Full Faith and Credit is rich with eye-opening data, surprising case studies, and you-can’t-make-this-stuff-up examples:
? For every official the United States public has elected, its government supports 5000 unelected employees.
? $1 billion is the cost to destroy $16 billion in ammunition unneeded by the U.S. military.
? $20,973,890,000 is the total taxpayer cost to the Treasury of gambling losses deducted by millionaires.
With easy-to-follow graphs and charts, as well as 20 uproarious full-color editorial cartoons drawn from the prior work of Pulitzer Prize?winning artist Michael Ramirez, Full Faith and Credit locates the tipping point of the $19.4 trillion (and counting) national debt crisis and offers ideas on how to fix it.

What to do to pay off debt is not a secret: throw money at it until it’s gone. Dominate Your Debt: A Work & Play Book answers the trickier question how. As in, “How do I take control of my debt, pay it off on my own terms, and still live my life?”
With humor and candor, Dominate Your Debt guides you step by step through creating a plan to pay off your debt. You will understand yourself, your debt, and your options. You will organize your financial life. You will create a payoff plan that balances paying off debt with building savings. And you will track and celebrate your progress as you implement that plan, all right in the pages of the book.
This book is the next best thing to having a sassy, savvy financial coach by your side as you tackle your debt.
You’ll find plenty of charts and numbers in this book, because, after all, debt is about numbers. But you’ll also find lots of journaling prompts, thought questions, and space to doodle, dream, and figure things out. You’re going to dig deep into your finances and your life, because being in control of debt is as much about what you do as how you feel. The work you do in this book will become your playbook for being confident and in control of your debt.
This is not a “How to get out of debt and get rich FAST!” book. This is a book for women who are committed to taking control of their debt and who crave the knowledge, structure, and loving kick in the skinny jeans to make it happen.
You won’t just learn; you will be inspired and empowered to take action. Together, we will create a personalized, unique plan for you not just to pay off your debt, but to truly dominate it.
Here’s the cold hard truth about trying to consolidate credit card debt into one simple payment. The truth is most people just don’t qualify for help

The Constitution grants Congress the power “to lay and collect taxes, duties, imposts, and excises.” From the First Congress until today, conflicts over the size, role, and taxing power of government have been at the heart of national politics. This book provides a comprehensive historical account of federal tax policy that emphasizes the relationship between taxes and other components of the budget. It explains how wars, changing conceptions of the domestic role of government, and beliefs about deficits and debt have shaped the modern tax system. The contemporary focus of this book is the partisan battle over budget policy that began in the 1960s and triggered the disconnect between taxes and spending that has plagued the budget ever since. With the federal government now facing its most serious deficit and debt challenge in the modern era, partisan debate over taxation is almost completely divorced from fiscal realities. Continuing to indulge the public about the true costs of government has served the electoral interests of the parties, but it precludes honest debate about the urgent task of reconnecting taxes and budgets.

A new report from NerdWallet revealed that one-third of Americans believe they will be in credit card debt indefinitely. NerdWallet Credit Card Expert and Writer Sara Rathner joins Yahoo Finance Live to discuss the steady rise in household debt.
Rathner notes that credit card balances have climbed 16% over the past year while interest rates have spiked an average of 22%. “Incomes are just not keeping up with the cost of goods,” she says, with the cost of consumer goods up 20% even as incomes rose only 12%. This widening gap leaves many Americans vulnerable to accumulating credit card debt they cannot easily pay off.
“A lot of times credit card debt is imagined as the result of frivolous spending,” Rathner tells Yahoo Finance, continuing: “but, we’ve actually found that many Americans take on debt just trying to afford the necessities.”

Since 2008, economic policymakers and researchers have occupied a brave new economic world. Previous consensuses have been upended, former assumptions have been cast into doubt, and new approaches have yet to stand the test of time. Policymakers have been forced to improvise and researchers to rethink basic theory. George Akerlof, Nobel Laureate and one of this volume’s editors, compares the crisis to a cat stuck in a tree, afraid to move. In April 2013, the International Monetary Fund brought together leading economists and economic policymakers to discuss the slowly emerging contours of the macroeconomic future. This book offers their combined insights. The editors and contributors–who include the Nobel Laureate and bestselling author Joseph Stiglitz, Federal Reserve Vice Chair Janet Yellen, and the former Governor of the Bank of Israel Stanley Fischer–consider the lessons learned from the crisis and its aftermath. They discuss, among other things, post-crisis questions about the traditional policy focus on inflation; macroprudential tools (which focus on the stability of the entire financial system rather than of individual firms) and their effectiveness; fiscal stimulus, public debt, and fiscal consolidation; and exchange rate arrangements.
