74. I agree with you Jed
on the wage side of the equation, it didn't have the long term impact it should have. But I think even the Clinton/Gore policy people have learned more about what worked and what didn't re wages, jobs and the silly idea of everyone buying a home. You must also acknowledge that health care reform and mental health parity were also key factors in not seeing desired results in reducing homelessness.

That said, I would rather see Hillary pick up where Bill left off, learning from the flaws in his programs (which were few) and moving forward than breaking in a new guy who may pull a "Bush" on us and decide he wants to do everything the opposite of what Bill Clinton did. Obama is just an unknown quantity in that respect.
