Clinton's great mistake earned him kudos in the business media such as the Wall Street Journal.
The paradox you on the Right face is your admiration for free market economics with a refusal to admit that deregulation of the financial markets has caused the most severe economic downturn since the Great Depression.
If you've paid attention, you'd be wondering---as I do--why Obama has in his council of economic advisers Larry Summers, who was a proponent of deregulation in the 1990s.
Summers since has confessed that he was wrong, but, using a well-worn cliche, a leopard can't change its spots.
A reality of this recession is that most of the jobs lost over the past decade were blue-collar manufacturing jobs which have been outsourced by our "patriotic" corporations to countries like China, at last reading a communist dictatorship complete wit its own gulag known as the Lao Gai.
