(38 posts)I don't trust Hill to reestablish that surplus while she is heavily into Wall Street.
In any case, Bill's policies also led into a recession that we all thought W started. He just ramped the impending recession faster, favoring who else - Wall Street.
Thanks Bill, no thanks Hill.
Understand?

(65,616 posts)Something the delusional idiots don't understand very well. Same with Reagan, we are all still suffering from his vile two terms in office.
Let us not forget who kicked off all these wars in the ME in the first place! Good old Poppy himself!
You were a good tool of the MIC Poppy. Millions are dead because of you. Take a bow.

(6,133 posts)...once our political, social and media institutions decided to preserve their status and fiscal well-being by playing make-believe with ugly truths about themselves and their own behavior, they become hostage to the habit. And once it became clear that media personalities and politicians could openly and repeatedly lie to the public without swift and brutal consequences -- once they gave themselves permission to flush their own incompetence, cowardice and complicity down the memory hole with impunity we were well and truly screwed.
Because after all, from what position of factual, experiential or moral superiority would people who lie more-or-less continuously about the last 30 years of American political and cultural history pass judgment on people who lie about where the President was born? Or Death Panels? Or anything?
Once you take that Faustian bargain, it doesnt matter how fine your suit is or how surgically superior your tits may be; youre just another grifter, straining a different grade of ethical sludge for krill.
And so we find ourselves drowning in a vast conspiracy of forgetting.
