Reply #18: we bombed them nearly EVERYDAY for a DECADE [View All]

when i think of all the RADICAL policies this regime has been able to enact i no longer have any sympathy for the old 'can you imagine the outrage, IF clinton would have did that'.

CLINTON SOLD US OUT especially with NAFTA, he broke his word to the UNIONS and weTHEpeople.

"The nationalist-populist revival in our current politics did not come out of nowhere. Two years ago, during the presidential campaign, it fueled the presidential race. The theme of Bill Clinton's 1992 campaign was "Putting People First," identifying American national interests with "those who do the work, pay the taxes, raise the kids and play by the rules." In his economic program, Clinton promised a host of populist and nationalist reforms--putting able-bodied welfare recipients to work, curbing excessive salaries for ceos, closing tax loopholes on foreign companies in the United States, ending tax incentives that reward U.S. companies for moving abroad, discouraging former U.S. officials from lobbying for foreign firms, attaching strong labor and environmental standards to NAFTA and getting tough on trade talks with Japan. These kinds of promises were integral to what the public believed when they thought of Clinton as a "different kind of Democrat.""


"Under pressure from the Business Roundtable, Clinton and U.S. Trade Representative Mickey Kantor withdrew their demand for commissions that would enforce strong labor and environmental standards under NAFTA."
