Former President Bill Clinton had a memorable moment at the Democratic National Convention on Wednesday, Aug. 21, while speaking about Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz's vision for the future.
Bill Clinton is pretty much the face of corporate greed, manipulation, and exploiting the working class for the benefit of corporate overlords. The world is objectively worse because of his presidency.
He is 78. He is going to die. These are just facts. The sooner he’s in the ground the sooner I can stop hearing from his flapping asshole of a mouth.
Clinton actually produced a large budget surplus the last two years of his Presidency. If this trend of financial stability (supposedly a characteristic of Republicans) had been continued, the US would have become debt-free years ago. Instead our national debt is sitting (and growing) at $35 trillion dollars, equivalent to about six years of total tax revenue.
the person above is an asshole but not entirely wrong. there was a good amount of deregulation under clinton, like repealing glass-steagall for example. not as bad a reagan but still not great.
that’s just false. the Gramm–Leach–Bliley Act which repealed glass-steagall passed the senate with 54 votes, which is a LONG way away from being veto-proof.
glass steagall can hardly be reduced to a “line item”. he could have vetoed the entire bill and told congress to send him something without repealing glass-steagall.
Donald Trump is an authoritarian tyrant who is only interested in benefiting himself. Donald Trump is corporate greed personified. Just look at Mar-a-lago. Its literally revolting and that lifestyle is his entire personality. No one should live in such obscene, revolting opulance while others in this country starve to death and die because they can’t afford medications like insulin or epipens. He is a moral abomination and his existence speaks to a systemic abject failure of American democracy to hold these weirdos accountable for their actions.
Bill Clinton is all about schmoozing up to corporate fucks like Donald in the hopes that they will both benefit at our expense. He’s all too happy to negotiate with republican terrorists if it means there’s money involved. Jon Stewart aptly describes this as the “soft hum of corruption” in the Democratic party. A big part of the unregulated nightmare that is the American economy is the direct result of his anti-worker pro-corporate deregulation campaign.
In many ways Bill Clinton not offering a strong progressive agenda has lead us to where we are today. Donald Trump is a symptom of a failing society. He is not an isolated incident, and others will come in his place if the underlying problems in American society (started by Nixon and hugely accelerated by Reagan) are not resolved.

Wasn’t that Reagan? I’m not in the US, so please take this as a genuine question. So far, I’ve heard nothing as bad about Clinton regarding economics.

most of that was the fact that republicans came in and controlled congress
he signed the bills.
line item veto doesn’t exist and congress had veto proof majorities…
that’s just false. the Gramm–Leach–Bliley Act which repealed glass-steagall passed the senate with 54 votes, which is a LONG way away from being veto-proof.

NAFTA wasn’t great.
Weird that you just described Trump exactly.
