Reply #21: Sure, the 90's were fine [View All]

but with $20/barrel oil propping up all our bad habits and India, Russia and China just starting to stir economically they are now about as relevant as the 1950's. Not to mention all of the concentration of wealth that has occurred in our own country in the meantime and which needs to be re-distributed, both in the form of a fairer tax system and expanded government spending on health and education.

The fundamental changes that have occurred since Clinton I doesn't disqualify (or automatically qualify) any of our candidates, but the thought that putting a Clinton back in the White House gets us anywhere close to where the world was in the 90's needs to be discarded.
