Who can retrieve old articles from the New York Times?

I came across an old clip from December 25, 2000 regarding Bill Clinton.

The article is titled, "The Wisdom to Let the Good Times Roll," by Richard W. Stevenson. Front Page, Monday, Dec. 25, 2000.

Here's the quote that caught my eye:

"He did a good job in allowing the market mechanism to work on its own; he was not an interventionist. He supported the bill that eliminated many rules and laws enacted in the Great Depression. Normally, a Democratic president would support the labor unions against Nafta and the W.T.O, and he did not." Sun Won Sohn, Chief economist, Wells Fargo Bank.



I read that and said, "OUCH!"

2. Thank you so much.

It's sad, when you read it. Because in hindsight, even the thing he was best known for, prosperity, would come at a cost once the Republicans got their hands on the "market mechanism."

4. I worked my ass off organizing against NAFTA

and welfare reform. Both a betrayal of working class and the poor and why we are a 1st world 3rd world country. What we are living now is a direct result of Clinton's triangulation and why the Republican ideology is our reality.

Clinton cemented Reagan's trickle down.

And Obama is cementing the perpetual war surveillance state.

5. It is very weird to come across a paragraph in a thirteen year old paper

and find one of the two factors which, today, has brought us to our knees.

The other factor was Bush and his lack of attention to security issues, which took us into two wars.
