520			_aIn 1992, Martin L. Gross shocked the nation when he blew the whistle on catastrophic government profligacy in his New York Times bestseller THE GOVERNMENT RACKET: Washington Waste from A to Z. Now he's returned to the scene of the crime and found that things have gotten even worse. He details dozens of new ways Washington has thrown away our hard-earned tax dollars. He details classic pork projects, such as highway projects and ever-delayed, over-budget mass transit systems. He examines politically self-serving radio ads, military junkets and political conventions. He tries to figure out how many billions the government squanders on telephone service. And he shows how we run through $4 billion a year on 127 different youth programs. He revisits the waste and pork he originally exposed-and discovers that little has been done to eradicate it. So he lays out his own blueprint for the twenty-first century, what needs to be done and quickly to create a Washington free of waste and corruption.
