• What the American budget means to Canada :: President Barack Obama’s budget is stunning, bold and radical, yet it won’t be enough to set his country’s finances straight.  For that, his country must go beyond what he proposed – to higher taxes for the middle class, higher pension contributions, more cuts in politically popular programs, and a reduction in defence spending.  Still, Mr. Obama’s budget – hugely consequential for the United States and of importance to Canada, too – represents a U-turn from the disastrous policies of the Bush administration and of the Republican political revolution that began decades ago.
