Bill Clinton on US economy, email scandal & NAFTA
2 Hours Ago

This is a really wide ranging interview...discusses how NAFA was negotiated by Bush, what Clinton did to improve it, and the consequences at the time if it had not passed.....VERY IMPORTANT to understand context...

Also debunks a lot of crap about the Global Initiative....

He really is pretty sharp today!

[leftofcool]

1. He is always sharp. Can't wait to see him back at the WH.

[Gloria]

2. Sanders people could learn a thing or two about some of their

un-favorite Clinton things...

But, they aren't interested in learning anything at this point..

[closeupready]

3. Some of us "Sanders people" lived the Clinton nightmare years.

"The best Republican president we've ever had", as Alan Greenspan reckoned.

[Gloria]

4. Yeah, no deficit and a decent jobs market were a real nightmare...

health portablility act, defending women from GOP crazies...yeah, it was a nightmare...

You are ...won't even say it....

Listen to the interview, otherwise go back to your blind hatred.....and willful ignorance....the worst kind.

[treestar]

8. For crying out loud

Good grief! And quoting Greenspan too! Isn't he a Republican?

[modestomama]

5. Bills NAFTA global initiative

sent all of our jobs overseas. Thats what I remember.

[Gloria]

6. And that is an incomplete memory....

At the time, Mexico was at the point of collapse and there was fear that a wave of immigrants would try to enter and throw off the economy. At the same time, there was concern that if the Mexico issue went south, then relationships with all of South America would be harmed...that's why the deal was finally ratified. With adjustments for environment and labor...as best could be mustered then.

For god's sake, doesn't ANYBODY from the Sanders crew EVER want to learn ANYTHING???

[treestar]

10. Funny that they feel that have to trash Bill

It's obvious they think they have to do this to oppose Hillary. Sexist.

[Gloria]

11. Sexist and ignorant....

I've about had it with this crap...I don't know if they are Democrats, independents or cloaked Republicans, but they are liked fixed stars....about as fixed as Sanders for the last 40 years...

The think processes are Republican though...blinders on, end of discussion...UGH

[DFW]

7. Yeah, that 90% unemployment under Clinton really sucked

"All of our jobs?" All of whose jobs? Mine didn't go anywhere.

[treestar]

9. so what was the unemployment rate?

This one is getting really old.
