Yes, I can, but that's only because I have read that book. Which cites its sources for everything. If you can't compare it, that's because you're missing the data to do so. I'm quite certain you'd like reading it. I don't really want to push that book this much, but I do want liberals to understand the dishonesty and malice inherent in the actings of previous administrations that are held in high esteem for no apparent reason - like Clinton and Obama. And the reason I want that is because it would be helpful to liberals. The US is so far behind on many basic things, it's a joke to the rest of the world; - The level of poverty in the US is staggering - you can reasonably say that more than 50% of citizens live below the poverty line. - The lack of basic bank security, the fact that if someone steals your bank account money, you don't automatically get it back from the bank. - The cost of health care is actually insane - The number of citizens in jail, and the exploitation of them for manufacturing (talk about slavery) - The low number of people who vote. In my country, more people vote in _city_ level elections than do in your presidential elections. Always. By a factor of 20%. "representative democracy" my ass. Anyone who lives in Europe knows these things. And any honest US citizen who has lived abroad knows it. I am saying these things to illustrate that I want to _help_ you. And that includes reading that book, and dispelling your notion that Clinton or Obama were good or honest. Competent, oh yes - competent enough to literally destroy your nation.
