Did you miss that?

Bill Clinton just did not do anywhere near as much as he claims. A lot of what he did has led to the problems we have today. It's a farce when Hillary talks about quality control of Chinese goods when Bill is the one that opened the flood gates. Or when she talks about the outsourcing problem when she is completely connected to the Indian business community. Or talks about solving our current college education problem when Bill said his tax credits had solved it in the 90's. Or pretending her tax credits will solve health care when they didn't solve the college problems.

They are better than any Republican, we get better funding for head start and similar programs. But they are not going to make the kind of major shift we need if working people are going to regain a quality standard of living. The people who benefited in the 90's were the upper income. There was no minimum wage increase because he wouldn't fight for it. Wage disparity increased. He laid the groundwork for where we are now. It's just the truth.
