Where is the evidence of that political will? The American public seems excited by voting in a new leader who is almost exactly the same as previous leaders in terms of foreign policy. He is supported by the same monied interests within the same straight jacket of a two party system that produces illusions and sells bread and circuses to the masses. The US is so backward the idea of a European style health care system is off the political radar. Or is the new will in Vietnam, China, India, or perhaps North Korea?
