CNBC'S "PROSPERITY AND POWER: MAKING WASHINGTON WORK FOR YOU" TO PREMIERE ON SEPTEMBER 16TH

CNBC's "Prosperity and Power: Making Washington Work for You" will premiere on Thursday, September 16th at 8pm ET.

America elected President Obama in its quest for change, however two years after the election our nation is seeing a limited return on its investment. Now, the mid-terms are around the corner and the question on everyone's mind is if anger and discontent can once again bring about change, taking control of the house and senate away from the democrats.

As we approach this momentous election Americans are wondering what will happen to their taxes, what will happen on wall street and if we will ever be able to reclaim our prosperity as a nation. CNBC's John Harwood will answer those questions and more in a special CNBC event, "Prosperity and Power: Making Washington Work For You."
