    <body><![CDATA[Thomas Frank's &quot;What's the Matter With Kansas?&quot; I consider to be the preeminent book about what has happened politically in the U.S. the past 35 years. &quot;The Wrecking Crew&quot; is a worthy successor. Full of statements by Far Right conservatives themselves, the book points out the Far Right's efforts to dismantle the federal government by cronyism, massive debt, and purposeful ineptitude. Which is to say, the FEMA response to Hurricane Katrina and other federal agencies' failures the past eight years have not been accidents but are a deliberate attempt to wreck the federal government and sow cynicism among Americans that their federal government can ever be effective.]]></body>
