The article presents information about various political activities taking place in the U.S. A snippet presents information on the populist woofery of U.S. President Bill Clinton's economic plan as laid before Congress. Next day's headlines announced the rich were going to "take it on the chin" with the top marginal rate rising to a shade under 40 percent, estate taxes going up, allowable itemized deductions going down. Another snippet presents information about a study conducted on the North American Free Trade Agreement in the U.S. The federal study estimated that compared with employment forecasts without the agreement, total employment with the agreement would gradually rise up by eight hundredths of a percentage point in the U.S.
