Mission

The mission of Truth in Government is to strengthen our country’s financial foundation by promoting accountability and transparency in Congressional spending and reporting.

One of the chief vehicles for accomplishing our mission is Unaccountable Congress: It Doesn’t Add Up, the book penned by Joe DioGuardi after he left Congress.

Unaccountable Congress: It Doesn’t Add Up (1992) blows the whistle on Congress’ gimmicky fiscal practices that have endangered the country as well as the very soul of democracy.  Even more outrageous today, these secretive practices of hiding debt combine with  personal perks, deals and legal exemptions to mire the country in a shocking level of debt, leaving us indebted to countries like China who do not share our values.
