Poverty, U.S. Style – 06.11.2018

The world’s first poor/rich country. Review of Seymour Hersh’s memoir, ‘Reporter’. NAFTA is dead. Big Brother surveillance has not disappeared, given the end of Obama. It’s become even worse. A circumspect look at Europe, hurtling towards self-destruction. Medicare will soon be broke. More bankers getting away, scot-free. Despite the terrible economic underpinnings, Americans are the most optimistic about the future in ten years.
