Drain the Swamp: How Washington Corruption is Worse than You Think Audiobook (Free)

Lavish parties. Commitee chairmanships for sale. Pay-to-play problem. Backroom arm-twisting. Votes on main legislation likely to the best bidder.

Congressman Ken Buck (R-CO) is blowing the whistle over the real-life House of Cards going on behind the scenes in our nation’s capital. Elected in 2014 as chief executive of one of the biggest Republican freshman classes ever to enter Congress, Buck quickly realized why nothing gets done in Congress, and it is not because of political gridlock-in truth, about Drain the Swamp: How Washington Problem is Worse than You Think Republicans and Democrats work together all as well well to fleece taxpayers and plunge America deeper into personal debt.

“It is an insular process directed by power-hungry party elites who live like kings and govern like bullies,” Buck reviews.

Buck has witnessed first-hand the way the unwritten rules of Congress continually prioritize short-term political gain more than lasting, principled command. When Buck tangled with Washington power brokers like former Speaker John Boehner, he experienced petty retaliation. When he insisted Republicans maintain their phrase to voters, he was berated on the home ground by his personal party leaders. When other people of Congress dared to accomplish what they thought to be right for America rather than what the party bosses commanded, Buck saw them stripped of committee positions as well as denied dining area privileges with the petty beltway bullies.

In Drain the Swamp, Buck brands brands and tells incredible accurate stories in what really happened nowadays in Congress during legislative fights which have ensued during the last two years including spending budget, continuing resolutions, omnibus, trade promotion authority, Iran, and more.
