Bill Clinton's odious presidency: Thomas Frank on the real history of the '90s

Thank you for boiling Clinton down to the a**hole he really is. I knew what he was when he reneged on his promise to us Perot supporters and signed NAFTA into law. I became more aware of the traitor he was when he crowed about the economy as many of us scientists and engineers were kicked to the curb and replaced by H-1B visa workers who hot-bunked together while taking our jobs at 1/3 the pay. 

And while he and his Labor Secretary (Robert Reich) enthused about the prospects of us all becoming “symbolic analysts” who would rake in the dough as third world workers took our former jobs in a race to the bottom of the pay scale, we lost our careers and wound up throwing Washington Post paper routes on contract and working in retail stores at the age of 50. Meanwhile he trumpeted propaganda about how good the economy was. 

Hillary’s no better.
