Book Information

The irony of today's Senate, Harris writes, is that as the body has become more responsive, it has become less responsible - and more prone to inaction as it has become more democratic in its own procedures." "Harris lays out an agenda for change that includes campaign finance reform, changes in Senate rules, and a reshaped budget process to restore efficiency while preserving the trend toward responsiveness and democracy in the Senate. With clear, compelling logic and fascinating details, Deadlock or Decision gives us a fresh understanding of what is wrong in Washington, and what can be done to make it right again."--BOOK JACKET.
