14. Yes, RuPaul has more political wisdom than you do, odd S that sounds

You may not like acts of Clinton but I do like them Employment and economic growth exploded after Nafta. The banks which expanded into nonbank activities were LESS likely to fail in 2007 and 2008. Their non financial activities buffered their financial losses. Yes, the truth is that the repeal of Glass Steagel reduced the problems of the financial crisis. And I think Carter did GREAT. Faced with the oil shock the U.S. outperformed all other big economies. I just think Clinton did even better. But these are just political differences of opinion. You may be right, I may be right. And obviously we should severely restrict private financing of political activities. We should publicLy finance campaigns I agree money causes corruption. But I want Hillary to succeed. Obama care saves lives and families. But it would not have happened without buying the support of many interest groups, such as insurance companies. Single payer would be better - but single payer was impossible. I want to live in the real world, the world of doing corrupt things when those corrupt things are absolutely essential to achieving good ends. FDR, JFK, LBJ, Clinton, Obama have all done some corrupt things because otherwise they would never have gotten elected and would never have achieved anything. Let's pass laws which reduce corruption, such as overturning Citizen's United, outlawing gerrymandering, etc. But for God's sake try to understand how the world actually works when you want to get something done. You may not like reality, you should legislate to make it better, but don't ignore how the world really works. You scratch my back, I scratch yours is how we make a better world. Really.
