Later today I plan to write something about what is in store for the USA in the last 2 years of the Obama administration. Just as Dubya took advantage of 9/11 to launch a war against Iraq, Obama will try to use Tucson as a way to forge a "government of national unity" to press forward with the dismantling of what's left of the safety net. His radio address today should give some inkling of where he is going: http://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2011/01/15/weekly-address-president-obama-we-are-democrats-or-republicans-we-are-am While we cant escape our grief for those weve lost, we carry on now, mindful of those truths. We carry on because we have to. After all, this is still a time of great challenges for us to solve. Weve got to grow jobs faster, and forge a stronger, more competitive economy. Weve got to shore up our budget, and bring down our deficits. Weve got to keep our people safe, and see to it that the American Dream remains vibrant and alive for our children and grandchildren. ________________________________________________ Send list submissions to: Marxism@lists.econ.utah.edu Set your options at: http://lists.econ.utah.edu/mailman/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
