In reply to the discussion: B. Clinton: Hillary speculation is waste of time [View all]KoKo
(84,711 posts)was on live "Bloomberg Finance" this a.m. And, I heard Bill say that about speculation about Hillary running.
I watched both Bills and while they said a few things I could agree with most of the dialogue was on how their view of the world (Jobs, NAFTA, Education, Immigration (allowing workers in because they claim there aren't enough "qualified American workers" was kind of depressing to me. That Bill Clinton still praises NAFTA and claims that Mexicans aren't coming over the border is because NAFTA allowed economic situation in Mexico to grow and thrive ...was enough to make me gag. The "over the border" was due to the Housing Boom (Construction, Landscaping) and when that Bubble crashed they were sent back to Mexico. Bill C. said that "inspite of the border gun wars that NAFTA had allowed Mexico to open 100's of Colleges/Universities and so the education opportunities of the Mexicans had kept them there rather than having them come here.
Anyway...some things they both said I agreed with but the rest was really depressing (for me as a Dem) to listen to. Their view of all the good things they feel they've done seems so different from what the reality that many of us are seeing here in America today.
