Barack Obama and America

Tea Party: Its presidential candidate plans to build a wall across the Mexican border; that his signature promise, according to Globe and Mail. He talks, with a straight face, about preventing Muslims from travelling to America. The GOP, singed by two defeats at the hands of Barack Obama and dragged even further to the right by groups like the Tea Party, has become a dangerously angry coalition. He swears he can Make America Great Again through a kind of economic authoritarianism, telling voters he can magically order companies to return manufacturing jobs to the U.S.A. How will he do this By force of will, apparently. It involves unleashing the dynamism of the American economy through yet more tax cuts focused on upper-income Americans, which will make the world most unequal developed country yet more unequal. And as for the financial frustrations of his supporters, he tells his low-income voters that he has a plan to make them wealthier. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
