In reply to the discussion: Obama's Social Security cuts = Bill Clinton's NAFTA [View all]TheMastersNemesis
(10,602 posts)Any time I hear complaints about jobs Clinton and the Dems are blamed for NAFTA. Sadly Clinton also bought into GATT and "favored nation" status for China. Rubin and Greenspan convinced him that free trade would expand employment. Well it idid in other countries at the cost of good jobs here.
Rubin is supporting the new "free trade agreements' and has a place at the economic table where Obama sits. I am sure that Greenspan is on the scene as well.
You are right about Social Security as well. Obama is a weak deal maker and that is a problem. He hurts Dems like Clinton did by trying to paint them into a corner.
And we both know that without a sound SSA system and secure pension seniors and the present generation face a bleak future. The 401K is fraudulent and a joke and WILL NEVER provide any real security. It is simply a money pump for the rich.
