5 dias, 5 mensagens para Obama - day 2

Olhando rapidamente para a cerimónia, fiquei desconfiada com um Hussein escondido com Barack H. Obama, mas as indirectas a Bush no respeito pela Constituição acima das questões de segurança fizeram-me recuar na desconfiança. No dia da tomada de posse de Barack Obama, faço meus os votos da Ann Pettifor:

1. One thing you hope for

That the United States rejoins the community of nations as a respected peer; no longer acts as a militaristic and intolerant empire; and helps bring peace and stability to the middle east, and justice to the Palestinian people.

2. One thing you fear

That powerful commercial forces will prevent his administration from providing the American people with a free and universal healthcare system

3. One piece of advice you would give

Break with the economics profession's orthodoxies; wipe the slate clean, and then implement Keynesian monetary policies to help the US create debt-free money, or low-interest credit for investment in a localised steady-state economy based on clean technology and millions of green-collar jobs.
