Video of Biggest Ripoff of All Time you should download and save this for the future

[Baobab]

A story on Naked Capitalism points out this lucky find- A link to the Clinton-era signing ceremony of the bill that repealed Glass-Steagall, which led to the decimation of the financial firewall which protected banks from massive financial shell gaming- leading to the 2008 disaster-

It should be noted the links below will explain that the WTO-GATS caused this disaster!

Don't let them weasel out of that admission!

GATS also screws up health care and has killed over a million Americans by privatizing public health care and preventing affordable health care. GATS also prevents public education and forces the privatization by piecemeal public schools and colleges. Also GATS globalizes service jobs trading good jobs for pie in the sky markets and lowering wages to inadequate global levels while preventing debt relief for families.


Overall GATS is a disaster for Americans.

Note them talking about trade in services- this further implementation of the GATS (now called TiSA) will be a disaster for Americans- its been in negotiation for 20 years in one way or another and while that has been happening, key sectors of service economy have been in limbo while they try to get the country to agree to it - and its shift to high profit low wage foreign subcontractors and potentially massive job losses -- hidden - - behind a pile of feel good talk about helping poor nations integrate into the world economy - in order to reverse 'incentivize' that they have created through inaction and dysfunction, multiple crises, for example, in healthcare and public and private education, leading to major problems.


This is what happens when we self-centered narcissists to public office!

I wish I had a quarter for every time I have heard various groups deny that many of the self-congratulatory things that are said in this video ever happened.

2. They believed their drinking buddies at Stephens Investments and Wall Street. They never learned

to not trust the money lenders and money changers.

4. See the links I posted- Basically the WTO Services deal causes reckless deregulation

(And now they want to do more, which is insanity.)

5. About the permissions.

Are you sure it's the "William J. Clinton Presidential Library?" I thought it was the, "Billy Ray Joe Bob Clinton Presidential Library."

7. Kick! As I said on another thread: The brain boggles, the eyes glaze over......

.....at the convoluted nature of these "trade" deals.

I'm reminded of that line in Mike Moore's Fahrenheit 911, where Rep. John Conyers advises that most people in Congress don't even read the bills given them.
