(57,936 posts)Do you know how much interest one of the major banks I shall not name pays on about $5,000. About 23 cents per month. 23 cents. I repeat, twenty-three cents per month.
How many beans can you buy for 23 cents a month. That's $2.76 per year. You can treat yourself and one child at McDonalds once a year for that. That's how well our economy is doing for the middle class.
And that bank is allowed to offer savings accounts.
Doing away with Glass Steagall was a huge blow to the middle class.
Hillary and Bill did that. Bill should have vetoed the bill that did away with Glass Steagall. Instead we see a picture of him proudly signing it.
So that is why we cannot afford Bill and Hillary.
Bill Clinton signed on the dotted line and championed the greedy banks when it mattered.
And don't get me started on NAFTA which he also signed.
Do you think that Republicans would allow a Clinton (Hillary or Bill) candidacy to slide by without stirring up the disgust that Americans feel at these huge mistakes or sell-outs depending on your point of view?
