Just to slam the final nail in the Clinton argument that someone brought up:
Originally posted by JaTo:Tell me, which US president did the following:
1) Pardoned a federal fugitive that was wanted for racketeering and tax evasion to the tune of $48 million
2) Was disbarred from practicing law
3) Gutted US intelligence agency budgets and crippled HumInt in the Middle-East and Asia, setting the stage for horrendous unpreparedness to internal and external threats
4) Nailed with impeachment hearings
No matter how you shake it, in terms of actions and ACCOMPLISHMENTS, Bush is heads and shoulders above Clinton and unless something radically changes, history will bear this out.
Finally...
I, too am IMMENSELY interested in seeing where the current war in Iraq has helped our current economy. Pray tell, what indicators are you using? The same ones the Kerry camp is? I would be interested in your reseach on child labor and how the US has massively benefitted from the illegal use of it, given that I've been to China and seen a number of factories on the mainland (none that I saw), worked in Mexican Maquliadoras (zilch there as well) and have been in a number of facilities in Costa Rica (none there, either). It wasn't like it could be hidden from my eyes or they knew I was coming in most cases, either...
It's still a problem in some areas but it's MUCH less of an issue that it used to be and one you've tried to paint here, I believe.
