Didn't the repeal of Glass-Steagall happen on Billy's watch, too?
A lot of good that did. Not.

So what you're saying is that Clinton sold out, compromised his princles at the expense of the American people, your hero.

When it comes right down to it, our past govt for the last 30 some years has done very little to help the average American. Sure, we are tossed a crumb every now and then, see where the steaks land. Some are blinded by the drool and think the steak is coming to them.

Oh I am very warm. I will admit that all of the parties have their own faults and do not take the needs of the general public at hand. Some on the other hand will stick by their particular party as doing no wrong. That is just plain ignorant. NAFTA is a good example. Clinton repeatedly gets the blame. He signed it but it was drawn up by George H. Bush. Bush didn't get re-elected. How they got Clinton to sign it is unknown. We all know it was not in the best interest of the average American.

NAFTA was nothing compared to TPP. Not even congress is allowed to know what all it entails. All the big industries are the ones running that show... Of course. We can't even have discussions on the Trans-Pacific Partnership because we know nothing about it. Most have never even heard of it, thanks to our wonderful national news. People in Japan and other Asian countries are more informed than those of us in the US, and they are in the streets protesting it.

So congressman doesn't know what it entails, and you/we don't know, but you're sure it's worse than NAFTA?
Do you ever get bored with the conspiracy theories?

Give me a break. Here's just a couple articles from mainstream recently. Unfortunately there's not much talk about TPP other than alternative news from the last few years, but there are a few. Just freaking look for yourself LIbERal...Or yeah, keep on trusting these lying butt heads. Some in Congress have been complaining for a couple of years, but they don't get much air time.
QUOTE Around 600 corporations with stakes in the talks have seen draft text, as have a few labor unions. Congress and the public have not, except for the few chapters released by Wikileaks online last year. ]http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs...]
QUOTE This treaty has long been shrouded in unprecedented secrecy. Congressional staff, press and general public weren’t allowed to read it; in many cases, even members of Congress were kept in the dark. Meanwhile, special interests were given full access. Now we know why: The White House didn’t want the public to know what was being negotiated in their name.
