1. Bill most of those companies who were willing to deal with you are

now staunch rethugs who do as much obstructing and the rethug House.

4. Nice thought but it l4aves everything to Business. We have no

evidence Business is in the mood to do anything but
wait and see when they will have customers walking
through the door.

Business in my opinion is smart. They know darned
well we are in a structural problem of great proportions.
They know( but surely are not going to blab about it)
that we are in a Globalization crisis. Our jobs have
been outsourced and relocated to other ocountries.
They can count. When only a little over 50% of che
country has a job, there is only so much money to
go around to all the Businesses. They know the
Rich have most every thing they need and are not
going out to spend for the sake of spending. They
would not be rich very long. This cuts down further
on the amount of money circulating around through
all business. It is not in Business's interest to hire
people for the sake of hiring. Just not good business.
Yes, poorly managed Trade Policies are responsible
for the Present dislocations. Business's have hired
enough people to make their business work in the present
environment and have likewise fired enough people
to make their business work.

Until someone(s) is willing to step up, take the bull
by the horns and admit we have permanent displacement
of workers and find a way to solve this problem
even if is "governmet work", we will continue
down the Right Wing Path to a Permanent Underclass
of White, Blacks and Hispanics. Just a much larger
under class than we now have.

I could be wrong but Clinton's remedy sounds carefully
worded right wing solution. Yes, I like President Clinton.
Just do not always agree with him on policy issues.

6. Bill Clinton got lucky with the economy!

He had the good fortune of having the Internet explode during his terms in office. A lot of those start ups do not exist any more. Investors were fueling the growth of the Internet, it was like a gold rush for them. That is how the economy stayed afloat. As soon as the investors started to put their money elsewhere and the manufacturing jobs were drying up, Clinton was at the end of his second term. He was lucky, not smart. And yes, I voted for him twice.

7. Feeling the guilt of being a corporatist president?

That guy was a rabid globalist. Never saw anybody push for fast-track ( ahem...railroaded ) "free trade" agreements as often and aggressively as he did.
