Washington is no longer about lawmaking, it's about moneymaking

Conventional wisdom holds that Washington is broken because outside special interests bribe politicians. The reverse is true: politicians have developed a new set of brass-knuckle legislative tactics designed to extort wealthy industries and donors into forking over big donations -- cash that lawmakers often funnel into the pockets of their friends and family.

Inside this best-selling bombshell of a book, Schweizer reveals the exorbitant secret "fees" each political party charges politicians for top committee assignments; how fourteen members of Congress bagged hundreds of thousands of dollars using a little-known self-loan loophole; how politicians use PACs to bankroll lavish lifestyles; and much more. Washington's extortion racket has gone unreported -- until now.

Solid quality and good price
Size: 10 sqft
I bought this for my custom built camper van and it’s been great so far. For $24, the amount of coverage you get is totally fair, and I’ll probably grab a second box to finish everything. It’s easy to install with just scissors and something to press it down, and making quick cardboard templates really helps for tight spots. The adhesive is insanely strong, so once it sticks, it’s not going anywhere (just don’t let it stick to itself). Keep in mind this is sound deadening, not full soundproofing, but even with partial coverage I can already hear a difference in reduced road noise and vibrations. I’m using this as a base layer and plan to add soundproofing on top, and so far I’m really happy with how it’s turning out.

It's a job but totally worth it
Size: 36 sqft
Pack a lunch when you tackle this project boys.. its a doozy!! Month in going great so far definetly did what I purchased it to do. 2000 chevy with two p3 10s every bass drop sounded like an old firebird with loose trunk bolts. Threw this on the back walls floor underneath the speaker and the doors.. all that energy is now in the cab with me instead of getting lost in rattling metal!! Love it!!! Left a few pieces outside after I was done rained like hell on them so water doesnt hurt this stuff at all or direct sunlight in south mississippi.. good stuff pick this up and make them systems thud instead of rattle!!! You wont regret it!! I didn't!!

Reasonably priced sound deadening
Size: 18 sqft
Easy to cut with a carpet knife. I used a heatgun to make it stickier and more moldable. The foil isn't so thick that you risk cutting yourself like some Dynamat variants.
