35. Three programs: welfare reform, NAFTA and the repeal of Glass-Seagal.

All huge blows to the middle class.

The first, welfare reform, reduced the social safety net for the poor to nothing. Any heretofore middle class person who fell into poverty due to foreclosure, job loss, physical disability, etc. was harmed by welfare reform.

NAFTA and the loss of jobs that followed in its wake. Mother Nature's earthquakes, floods and fires could not have cost the US jobs the way NAFTA has. That's the lifeblood of the middle class drained with the flick of a pen.

The repeal of Glass-Steagall set the stage for the meltdown in the banking sector. We are still paying the price for Clinton's huge mistake.

The Clintons had no clue. They are socially gifted people (at least he is).
Everyone loves Bill Clinton.

But he tore at the heart of the middle class. Nice guy. But that does not make up for his poor judgment and susceptibility to bad influences -- like Larry Summers and Robert Rubin and the whole crowd.
