"Neoliberal" - favoring international trade agreements to benefit the corporate sector globally, deregulation of the banking and financial sectors, and reductions in government spending in order to enhance the role of the private sector in the economy (as with the movement toward private prisons).
"The Clinton Administration embraced neoliberalism by pursuing international trade agreements that would benefit the corporate sector globally (normalization of trade with China for example). Domestically, Clinton fostered such neoliberal reforms as the corporate takeover of health care in the form of the HMO, the reduction of welfare subsidies, and the implementation of 'Workfare'."
"The high rate (compared to Europe) of incarceration in the U.S. specifically 1 in 37 American adults is in the prison system heavily promoted by the Clinton administration, is the neoliberal U.S. policy tool for keeping unemployment statistics low, while stimulating economic growth through the maintenance of a contemporary slave population and the promotion of prison construction and 'militarized policing.'"

You dont know anything about neoliberalism if you're not lying now.

(46,179 posts)but thanks for your concern.
I don't know any "Betnie," but I do know that the candidate I support is not a Marxist, no matter what falsehood you want to promote.
Is that another spelling error, or are you deliberately calling Noam Chomsky "Chimsky?"
I like Chomsky and Klein more than any neo-liberal, and you are delusional.

(4,667 posts)Its a theft from corporations of the low end customers. For example, people who cant afford regular insurance might be ble to afford a plan that shipped sick people overseas for care, similarly with education, instead of colleges increasingly unemployed people should be able to pay 2/3 as much and get e-courses. Also global services privatization will allow infrastructure projects to be done by the lowest bidding forms from around the globe, increasing profits dramatically. Either that or import doctors, nurses, teachers and construction workers from developing countries under the "Mode Four" provisions of IT A s
This is actually been the plan and negotiations have been going on for 15 years.
