Bill Clinton's emerging role in a Hillary presiden

droptop

Hillary Clinton has joked that her husband Bill could become "the first dude" if she is elected as president, but it is emerging that the title comes with a serious job description: managing the White House response to economic inequality.
Dude? now that's a fresh term.

Gets worse:
Bill Clinton: "I volunteered that if Hillary got elected president, I would like to be tasked with the responsibility to take you along for the ride to America's future," he added, during a testy series of exchanges with miners picketing the rally.

What? A good president / bad president? Billary Destroys an industry and Bill saves them.

NAFTA is a mixed bag at best (or worst, depending upon your point of view).

In 2009 we had a combined $300 billion plus trade surplus with Canada and Mexico. This went negative by 2011. This is a function of multiple inputs that contributed more than did NAFTA.

Small businesses have benefitted greatly from NAFTA, though employees of large companies have suffered. Sound bite criticism of NAFTA is in vogue with our current emotionally driven presidential politics. The truth, however, is less clear and actual results cannot be measured by simplistic references to Ford and Carrier.

Hilldog's biggest campaign promise thus far is that she's going to turn over the job to her husband on day one.

So much for "A woman can do anything a man can do" [:)]

According to the US census bureau we have had a trade deficit with Mexico every year since 1985.

Funny...Bill couldn't get a 16 billion dollar stimulus pass Congress when he first took office. In fact I can't remember any economic policy, that was his creation, he ever got enacted into law during his entire 8 year run. He lucked out entering office as the economy was coming out of recession and even luckier to depart office as it was sliding into another one.
