Canada economy is doing far better than the USA. Its more social also. Have a kid you get $100 each month to help raise the child, you get subsides daycare, you get free health care. So its not all the D's fault. Canada does try more to keep it jobs in Canada, it has more regulations on its banking. I thought Obama would look to Canada as a role model but no, when it came to taxes, wars he was right with the R's.
