It started just like Obama's first term though more sublet and clandestine. Clinton accomplished a lot for minorities and they enjoyed a huge leap in income and entrance into the middle class. Most of the parents and grandparents of the millennials remember being able to get a good job with good benefits and the opportunity to fund their children's education with the new found wealth and credit opportunities that home ownership provided. It was not Clinton's fault that a good idea was taken over by greedy, seedy vulture capitalists. Go back, search the record look at his platform, look at his cabinet appointments. Loni Guiner didn't make it through and she never would have been confirmed but who else but Clinton would even have nominated her?
Peace!
