Domestic and foreign policy outlooks in the second term, and a
backlash looms against the discredited ideology of
Reaganism.
Former Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle says no matter who is
selected as secretary of state, he doesn’t expect any radical
transformation of U.S. foreign policy.
Historian and author Michael Lind talks with us about different
long-term waves in American history, where we are now and where we
are going.
And Bill Press interviews Senator Chris Coons of Delaware about the
so-called fiscal cliff … and why going over it might not be so
bad.
Tom Daschle
We’re happy to have with us today Tom Daschle, long time leader of
Democrats in the Senate, and an expert on health care and foreign
policy. He says that in the president’s second term, a lot of
hurdles face full implementation of Obamacare but that foreign
policy is going to remain on an even keel, not matter who is named
secretary of state.
Michael Lind
Historian Michael Lind thinks the story of America is of long-term
waves of technology and social upheaval. Where are we now? He says
we are at the end of the Reagan era and there will be a backlash
against its discredited policies in the near future.
