An excerpt:
It is suffocating its middle class, turning its back on newcomers and giving corporations and fat-cat financiers obscene tax breaks.

It has an unbreakable addiction to foreign oil, values clean air and water only when they don’t get in the way of profit making, and cares little that its infrastructure is crumbling one bridge at a time.
