He SHOULD have been a fan of the Bond Market.

He was a creature of the 70s when inflation was all the rage and he was still fighting that war but he bought the Reagan Era LIE that inflation was all Carter's fault. It really started under Nixon and ran through the Ford years with Carter ending it just in time for Reagan to take credit. You could tell that he bought the whole "tax and spend Liberal" crap.

Clinton and Obama's measure of success is to show the rich they can be richer with Democrats than Republicans.

The rest of us are supposed to be their cheerleaders for that goal.

Because what makes America great is we have the richest rich people in the world.
