Noam Chomsky: U.S. policy has become "pure savagery"
 

Chomsky claims that the controversy of Congress about extending unemployment benefits is evidence that U.S. policy "It has fallen into madness." These problems are linked to the "neoliberal assault on the world's population."
"The refusal to provide the most basic level of life to people who are caught in this monstrosity is just pure savagery", Chomsky said in a interview given to 'The Huffington Post'. "There is no other word to describe it," said the progressive political thinker.

Chomsky said that recent economic problems, however, are not isolated phenomena but rather the product of decades of economic policies implemented by U.S. elites. Some of the main changes include the signing of the World Trade Organization , the Free Trade Agreement of North America and the deregulation of major industries, said the intellectual.

"The broad and very serious problem of the economy that is staring us in the face has nothing to do with the bad apples in Congress , "Chomsky said. "These are deep structural problems have to do, in fact, the neoliberal assault on the population, not just the U.S. but the world, which has carried out the last generation. There are areas that have escaped, but is quite large, "said the activist.

Furthermore, Chomsky told the newspaper that corporate interests dominate the political agenda of the Party Democrat and cited the observation of conservative scholar Norm Ornstein of the Republican Party has "moved out of range" and no longer works as a serious parliamentary institution.

"Years ago it was said that the U.S. is the only nation in the party-party economic two factions: Democrats and Republicans, "Chomsky said. "That is no longer true. Remains the nation's single-game match-budget, but now has only one faction. Democratic And no, it is the moderate Republicans.'s Called New Democrats, who are the dominant force in the Democratic Party, are more or less what used to be moderate Republicans a couple of decades ago. And the rest of the Republican Party has drifted just out of range, "concluded the analyst.

The U.S. Republican Party blocked an agreement to extend unemployment benefits during budget negotiations in December. On Tuesday, some Republicans joined Senate Democrats to advance a bill benefits, but the deal faces an uphill battle in the House of Representatives, controlled by Republicans.
