Leon Panetta of FixUS on CNN.
Former Defense Secretary and Congressman Leon Panetta appeared on CNN to discuss our new report, Why is Governing No Longer Good Politics?: Reflections from a Thousand Years of Public Service.
“We have to get back to governing. We elect political leaders not to go back to Washington to pound their shoe on the table, we elect them to go back and solve the problems facing this country. The thrust of this report is, what has gone wrong, how do we fix it, how do we get back to making governing good politics.”
