Job creation: Bill Clinton's job ideas
- smashing 15y agoIs this a politically motivated article or what? Most if not all of the comments of the page, not to mention the article on the page, deal with Republican vs. Democrat issues. The subject at the top is even written as "American politics".
- pavlov 15y agoThe subject at the top is even written as "American politics". Chill. It's just the name of the section within The Economist in which this article was published. They're UK-based, so they mostly write about other stuff than American politics.
