Hillary Clinton wants you to remember the 1990s
The Sacramento Bee ^ | May 30th, 2016 | By David Siders

Streaming through California as the presidential primary comes to a close, Hillary Clinton looked past Bernie Sanders last week and moved to claim ground on economic issues for the general election ahead.

First, with Donald Trump rising in national polls, Clinton amplified her criticism of his business record, accusing the New York businessman of rooting for the 2008 housing market collapse so that he could profit from it.

Second, she sought to remind voters that it was a Clinton who was president during the 1990s, an extended period of economic prosperity. While dispatching her husband, Bill, to campaign for her in Southern California and the Central Valley, Hillary Clinton told an audience in Los Angeles County, “Go back 25 years … people were working. People were investing. People were buying homes.”

Twenty-five years later, jobs and the economy stand out as the most pressing concern of California voters heading into the June 7 primary, according to a Field Poll last week on behalf of the USC Schwarzenegger Institute for State and Global Policy. Nearly three in four likely voters rank it among their most important concerns.

“That kind of says a lot,” said Bonnie Reiss, the institute director. “Even though we can see all the statistics about unemployment numbers going down, and we talk about minimum wage going up, it really shows a concern among a lot of people that the whole American dream of home ownership and sending your kids to college and all of that – I think it reflects that a lot more Americans see that slipping away.”

I do remember the 90s, which is one of the many reasons I despise Hillary Clinton.

I remember our nuclear technology being sold to China by Clinton supporter Bernard Schwartz of Loral Corporation.

It made the Chinese missiles far more accurate.

Scumbag traitors, the lot of them.

The entire Baby Boom generation was out of school, in their prime working years, and not retiring (between the ages of 28 and 46 when Bill was elected). Putting money into Wall Street, not retiring en masse.

The economic boom we enjoyed during slick willie's tenure was 100% due to the internet and the fact that businesses could start up with little capital. Just a computer. bill had nothing to do with it.

He did, however, have everything to do with the collapse since he forced fannie mae and freddie mac to guarantee loans to high risk credit dead beats. Then we found out why such people shouldn't get $500K loans on a $50K salary. That was clinton's fault.

But she doesn’t want us to remember Whitewater and above all, the 47 or so “mysterious” deaths of folks that had some dealings with the Clintons....
