Nickolai, you still haven't read Louis McFadden. Shame on you. your post above is ridiculous, rationalization for President Clinton's signing into law the Commodity Futures Trading Modernization Act. He had could have vetoed the Act.

Community Reinvestment Act of Jimmy Carter's had no provision to impede the Golden Triangle, FARC and al Qaeda drug cartels from money laundering dope through the ghetto housing markets of New York, Philadelphia, Oklahoma city and Los Angeles.

Here's a good book on the 2008 housing market collapse by Baby Bush's Special Inspector General Troubled Asset Relief Program SIGTARP chief, Neil Barofsky. Barofsky was a former prosecuting Attorney in the Southern District of New York, a gun toting cowboy who captured Columbian drug lords and had them extradited to NYC for money laundering dope through their housing market:

Bailout: An Inside Account of How Washington Abandoned Main Street While Rescuing Wall Street
https://www.amazon.com/Bailout-Account-Washington-Abandoned-Rescuing/dp/1451684932/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=

Barofsky met the greatest opposition to bailing out Main Street while serving under President Obama for the next two years, 2009-2011, and resigned in disgust. Barofsky briefly mentioned that the real culprit that was going unchecked was not the US Treasury and Wall Street Banks, but the Federal Housing Authority Bank and the Federal Reserve Bank that bailed out the FHA Bank. Meanwhile, Meanwhile, Obama's open borders welcomed in every drug pusher on earth to continue money laundering through the FHA Bank!

I'd like to see Neil Barofsky become the next Director of the FBI.

Yes Clinton could have vetoed the modernization act and the Democrats wanted him to but he chose not to he was carrying out Ronald Reagans Reaganomics program, My rationalization is spot on. The Democratic Leadership Council (DLC) was co-founded in 1985 by Will Marshall, who served as its first Policy Director and who is the founder and President of DLC's think tank, the Progressive Policy Institute. DLC counts among its past chairs former President Bill Clinton, Congressman Richard Gephardt, and Senator Joseph I. Lieberman. "The DLC characterizes itself as the 'founding organization of the New Democratic movement,' the goal of which is to 'modernize the progressive tradition in American politics.' The DLC further highlights its commitment to a 'Third Way' agenda that includes some apparently conservative as well as leftwing guiding principles.

Since 1995 Lieberman has chaired the Democratic Leadership Council (DLC), the centrist think tank that eschews liberal dogma and promotes market-oriented approaches to policy. Like many similar groups, the DLC (of which Gore is a founding member) has never disclosed its funding sources. But last week, in response to requests from NEWSWEEK, it turned over a list of top donors. If Gore still hopes to score populist points by bashing Big Oil and pharmaceutical companies that oppose his plan to add a prescription-drug entitlement to Medicare, he may have some explaining to do. Among the DLC's biggest benefactors last year (contributions of between $50,000 and $100,000) were ARCO, Chevron and the drug giant Merck. Other big underwriters include Du Pont, Microsoft and Philip Morris (which has kicked in $500,000 since Lieberman became DLC chairman). There is no evidence that the DLC has trimmed policies to accommodate its patrons, but some contributors say the money has helped ensure an open door to Lieberman. "We've been able to have a dialogue with the senator and his staff," said Jay Rosser, spokesman for another DLC benefactor, Koch Industries, an oil-pipeline firm that is also a big GOP donor.

Please, kHH1, elaborate on the "evidence". You can't because there is none. The only evidence turned up by Mueller is evidence against Hillary and the DNC who colluded with Russians to fabricate a h**eful dossier that was used to justify wiretapping Trump's campaign staff. That is not evidence against Trump; it is evidence against Hillary and the DNC.

Nickolai, how can you conclude that Clinton was acting to:
"carrying out Ronald Reagan's Reaganomics program," and simultaneously be "a member of the Democratic Leadership Council (DLC)... the goal of which is to 'modernize the progressive tradition in American politics.' The DLC further highlights its commitment to a 'Third Way' agenda that includes some apparently conservative as well as leftwing guiding principles."

This is Orwellian doublespeak. Reaganomics (cutting taxes and less government) is 180 degrees around from the Progressive Tradition (taxing and spending, building a massive government bureaucracy and public dependency upon that massive bureaucracy).

This entire scenario of the rich corporations causing the widening gap between rich and poor, according to labor lackey Less Leopold, is a mirage. The widening gap between rich and poor is the direct result of Karl Marx's 2 point plan to create a underclass, 1) implementing a progressive tax (eliminating rising competitors in industry); 2) creating a government central bank, the Federal Reserve, that can devalue the currency at will, money today becomes worthless tomorrow, to hold the working poor down, property-less, trapped on the government plantation.

Do you know that the Bilderberg Group helped finance Governor Clinton's p**********l campaign? This secret club of billionaires, royalty, media moguls and galloping global corporations have a plot to install One World Government of socialism, ending nation-states and their sovereignty. The history of the Bilderberg Group, its ties to Hitler's chemical combine, I.G. Farben and one of its 800 subsidiaries in the Netherlands, I.G. Farben Bilder, is heavily documented by Daniel Estulin.

The biggest enemy behind this "widening gap between rich and poor" is INFLATION created by the currency manipulation of the Federal Reserve Bank. With mass production, more goods and services manufactured at a lower cost, the cost of living should go down, as our standard of living goes up! The dollar should be growing stronger and stronger, not reduced to 3 Cents since the inception of the Federal Reserve Bank's endless printing of funny money and disbursing it all over the globe! None dare call it counterfeit.

Every time one of these billionaires yells "Tax the Rich" you had better put your thinking cap on and see what he is up to. There's nothing better for a monopoly than to hire the politicians and IRS to eliminate your rising competitors through a progressive tax. Think, think, think. Do you really think Warren Buffett loves you?

Poor are pitted against the rich, race against race, young against old, religion against religion, the old divide and conquer scenario. Ged rid of the Federal Reserve Bank and Marx's Progressive Tax. Problem solved.

Economist Don, you forgot something. It was Mueller who delivered the uranium sample to the Russians in that secret exchange at the Moscow airport tarmac. Obama, Hillary Clinton and Robert Mueller are guilty of collusion with the Russians while selling out 20% of our uranium stock to a dubious dealer named Vladimir Putin. This was all part of the pay-to-play scheme between the Clinton Foundation and Secretary Hillary Clinton.

“two for the price of one” during the 1992 campaign, the pair had cast their lot in with those who moved the party to the right, most notably when Bill Clinton became head of the DLC—the Democratic Leadership Council, or as Jesse Jackson called it“Democrats for the Leisure Class.” The DLC was crucial to the Clinton's rise to power,so it's absolutely essential to understand it, if one wants to understand their politics—and that of the party they've so profoundly reshaped—all the way up through Hillary Clinton's most recent rearticulation of the day.

An excellent starting point for understanding this comes via the much broader focus of Thomas Ferguson and Joel Rogers's book,
Right Turn: The Decline of the Democrats and the Future of American Politics. While the book makes references going back to the Carter era, it opens with a meeting of twenty top Democratic Party fund-raisers three weeks after Walter Mondale's landslide loss in the 1984 e******n,
where they discussed “
1988 and how they could have more policy influence in that campaign, how they might use their fund-raising sk**ls to move the party toward their business oriented, centrist viewpoints,” as the Washington Post reported the next day.
It goes on to describe how, two days later, a closely-related group, the Coalition for a Democratic Majority, sponsored a similarly-themed public forum that drew national press attention, dominated by speeches given by Arizona governor Bruce Babbitt and Virginia governor Charles Robb, who, in turn, were also prominent founding members of the Democratic Leadership Council in the following spring, along with Missouri Representative Richard Gephardt and
Georgia Senator Sam Nunn

The moderate and conservative Democrats didn't make it past the first round in its primaries in 1984 and we want to change that,” said Nunn, a major Democratic proponent of increased military spending who had backed John Glenn in the 1984 race. Right Turn makes it abundantly clear that the DLC was just one facet of a much broader mosaic of elite political reorientation—a reorientation profoundly out of step with the American people, as the book also takes pains to point out. “The basic orientation is announced in the opening paragraph,” We still believe in liberty and justice for all, in mercy for the afflicted and help for the down and out. But we no longer automatically favor unions and big government or oppose the military and big business. Indeed, in our search for solutions that work, we have to distrust all automatic responses, liberal or conservative.

This captures neoliberalism in a nutshell: a disavowal of New Deal liberalism in the posture of open-mindness, which (“Ooops, I did it again!”) repeatedly lends itself to conservative cooptation. It quickly became a popular stance in the Democratic donor class, spread further by the publications they financed and other political infrastructure. Still, the DLC emerged to play a much more central role than most of the other forces involvHe was not afraid to challenge old orthodoxies. In the early 1980s, he and Hillary Clinton pushed cutting-edge education reforms, like pay for performance and public-school choice, against the opposition of the powerful Arkansas Education Association. specifically because of Bill Clinton. Clinton was a natural fit for DLC. Both Clintons, in fact:


The same, of course, is true of Hillary Clinton as well: however smart, educated, and otherwise well-qualified she may be—as much as anyone in her generation, arguably—she would never have been where she is today without her husband's charisma and political smarts, which in turn undermines her retroactive efforts to disavow the path they blazed together. And that path was labeled “progressive” because they decided to label it so—as push-back against journalists' more accurate recognition that it represented a conservative force within the Democratic Party. As In 1991, Clinton told a DLC conference in Cleveland: “Our New Choice plainly rejects the old ideologies and the false choices they impose. Our agenda isn’t liberal or conservative. It is both, and it is different.” This denial of labels was a way of getting people to listen. Eventually, though, needing a label, From settled on “progressive,” an ironic choice. During the Cold War, “progressive” had meant left of liberal (as in Henry Wallace’s Progressive Party), but it now came to refer vaguely to any viewpoint left of center. They called the DLC’s policy arm the Progressive Policy Institute because they was tired of his organization being described by journalists as conservative.


It t***sformed the party into the other neoliberal political party that differed from the Republican party only by social wedge issues. Otherwise they were both right wing parties

Bill Clinton’s Five Major Achievements Were Longstanding GOP Objectives
Thomas Frank, author of Listen, Liberal, discusses the Hillary Doctrine’s basis in neoliberalism, how the Democratic Party stopped governing on behalf of the working class and how President Bill Clinton’s major achievements actually enacted conservative goals, and ultimately hurt working people. The innovation class, the creative class, the wealthy class, the professional class with Ivy League degrees: How did President Obama become the avatar for believing these groups should be the decision makers in government?

Thomas Frank: Obama thinks such people should be in charge because they came up through the same system as him. “Because he himself was a product of the great American postwar meritocracy,” his biographer Jonathan Alter writes, “he could never fully escape seeing the world from the status ladder he had ascended.” Most of our other Democratic leaders (the Clintons, for example) came up the same way and believe the same thing. Indeed, what Alter describes is standard-issue stuff for Democrats these days. The Democrats are a class party in the fullest sense of the phrase, and the class whose perspective they reflect and whose interests they serve is the highly educated, white-collar professional class. Theirs is a liberalism of the rich


Clinton never had a really great relationship with workers’ organizations, but the worst thing Clinton did to them was NAFTA. There were many trade agreements, of course, but NAFTA was the one that mattered, both because it was the first one and because labor put everything into stopping it. Indeed labor had stopped it when George H. W. Bush tried to get it through Congress. Clinton got it done, however, with a little muscle and a vast fog of preposterous claims about how NAFTA would increase exports and manufacturing employment.His admirers saw NAFTA as his “finest hour,” because he had stood up to a traditional Democratic constituency. What an achievement. NAFTA handed employers all over America the ultimate weapon against workers: They could now credibly threaten to pick up and leave at the slightest show of worker backbone — and they make such threats all the time now.


In 1992, Clinton ran as a populist, deploring income ine******y, but that was just an act. As president he seems immediately to have decided to cast his fortunes — and those of his party — with Wall Street. Bank deregulation was a persistent policy of his from the very beginning — he signed the Riegle-Neal Act in 1994, for example, and the Mexican bailout (a big favor to Wall Street) came shortly thereafter. Along the way, he helped bail out a too-big-to-fail hedge fund, he twice appointed Alan Greenspan to run the Federal Reserve and he ensured that certain derivative securities would not have any kind of federal supervision at all. At the time, Clinton’s admirers thought this record was something to boast about. He had brought his party out of the Rooseveltian dark ages and had embraced modernity, etc.


Why did he do it? My explanation is simple class identification. Clinton’s real class story has to do with his career in college and graduate school, where he became a star of the rising professional cohort. People with this kind of background saw (and still see) Wall Street as a part of the enlightened world, a part of the world inhabited by people just like them. They’re so smart! Plucking wealth from thin air! This is a little off message regarding the book, but can you speculate why the Republicans were so obsessed with removing Clinton from office when he was fulfilling so much of the GOP agenda, including negotiating with Newt Gingrich about cutting Medicare and Social Security?

NAFTA, the Crime Bill of 1994, welfare reform, the deregulation of banks and telecoms, and the balanced budget. All of them — every single one — were longstanding Republican objectives. His smaller achievements were more traditionally Democratic (he raised the earned-income tax credit and the minimum wage), but his big accomplishments all enacted conservative wishes, and then all of them ended in disaster. So why did the right try so hard to get rid of him? For one thing, because they always do that. They never suspend the war or stop pushing rightward. There is no point at which they say, “OK, we’ve won enough.” For another, because Gingrich couldn’t control the rank and file, a problem that persists to this day.

It is the Republicans growth policies for business that promote the prosperity of the working class.
President Trump is the President of JOBS. Clinton signed NAFTA and granted China First Nation Trade Status, sucking out half of American industry and jobs abroad.

If you had watched Trump's campaign rallies, he toured the desolate boarded up factories and mill towns that Clinton gave us. Clinton's objectives were in no way Republican objectives. Chicago, Detroit, the rust belt, the coal mines, all shut down because of the Democrats.

The Democrats are socialist, redistributing the poverty. Just look at LBJ's destruction of the Black family in his Great Society, putting B****s back on the government plantation.
