I NEVER said I hated Bill Clinton. I just think NAFTA, deregulating the telecommunication industry, and the repeal of Glass Steigal were Republican ideas supported by a Democratic president and they all had bad consequences for the USA.

I doubt very much that RFK, JFK, LBJ, HHH, Harry Truman, or FDR would gone along with these awful laws.
