bought into the bullshit Neo-Liberal economic policies that he and Thatcher were selling. Hell it took 30 years for our side to wake up to that corporate con job that empowered the wealthy more than any of the "free" society's in history. Not since the times when monarchy's ruled was power and wealth so centralized in the hands of so few. These policies couldn't be rescinded because of the general favor both sides had for them.

The last 2 Democratic presidents began to realize how horrible and deceptive Neo-Liberalism is and how much damage economically those policies had levied not just here but worldwide and each of their tenures have begun to lead in doing something about it. It's not going to be easy as there are many in our party that still believe in at least some aspect of it. They are slowly falling out of favor as more progressive, younger, minds bring a new wisdom, perspective and fresh ideas hopefully correcting an extremely misguided ideal that has no place in the Democratic party.
