Riassunto

The failure of Washington, D.C.'s city government is manifest in the daily lives of the District's residents. However, being able to fully understand the depths to which D.C. has sunk remains a challenge. Statistics have been difficult to find, littered among a host of diverse reports from a wide array of sources.
Now, for the first time, the indisputable truth has been compiled in one place for all see - in D.C. By the Numbers: A State of Failure. Authors/researchers Thomas N. Edmonds and Raymond J. Keating have compared the nation's capital to its peers, other leading cities, and its would-be peers, all 50 states, in over 200 measurements.
From SAT scores to out-of-wedlock births, from police expenditures to violent crime, from individual and corporate tax rates to assistance from the federal government, the tragic story is all here in black and white. D.C. By the Numbers: A State of Failure presents the facts. Despite contrary claims by many D.C. politicians, the conclusion is undeniable: Gross mismanagement and a misguided faith in big government are destroying our nation's capital.
