I seem to recall Hockey brought us the 2014 'horror' budget based on fake debt and deficit crisis. The undeminig of living standards is still being felt today.

Whatever direction the US election goes, one thing is clear: we are in the decade of an American resurgence (politically, economically, militarily). Either ride the wave or move aside.
