American Politics
There are two major parties in the United States the Democrats and Republicans. Gail Russell Chaddock, a writer of The Christian Science Monitor, states, “Democrats favor targeted stimulus -- investments in infrastructure, clean energy, and education -- while hiking taxes on corporations and the rich to fund this jobs spending.
