GUEST: Nomi Prins, author of “Jacked: How ‘Conservatives’ are Picking your Pocket (Even if you didn’t Vote for Them),” and a senior fellow at Demos, a public policy think tank in New York City

As we come upon the Congressional elections in November, Republicans are gearing up to fight to keep control of Congress. A new book called “Jacked: How ‘Conservatives’ are Picking your Pocket (Even if you didn’t Vote for Them),” takes apart Republicans policies, scandals, and blunders. Jacked is written by Nomi Prins, a senior fellow at Demos, a public policy think tank in New York City. Her book gives the reader a guided tour of a typical American wallet. Each chapter matches a wallet item to a set of political topics. For example, the driver’s license leads to a discussion of gasoline prices, energy policy, and Iraq.
