early 1990s.

IMO, the 1% are hoping to use a Hillary Clinton Presidency to correct a Capitalism that has destroyed its consumer base. Bill Clinton is not eligible to run again. Wall Street is like a gambling casino and Republicans will do nothing to reinstate Glass-Steagall and neither will Hillary Clinton. Where would money for the new NeoCon war be coming from? The US Treasury, as the Bush tax cuts were never ended in order for this nation to raise the standard of living (new income going to the 1%). We know that, $12 an hour may convert to $10, in 2020. And what about that tit for a tat 20% drop in drug prices in exchange for a 20% fee to Wall Street to manage our Social Security Trust Fund benefits, thingy.

Here come Romney to debate Hillary Clinton. Romney debated Obama on Obama's Newism and third way politic.

Senator Warren told us about how Hillary Clinton voted on the Bankruptcy Bill to the anguish of poor American women. Poor people remember and they have learned to wait; and wait for justice they will.
