Or NAFTA... although he tried w the TPP
Clinton was a bad president because he pandered to conservatives. His policies were all much further right than you'd expect from a Dem POTUS
Let us no forget his repeal of Glass-Stegall which played a role in our economic collapse at the end of the Bush era. Woooo boy CONSERVATISM is cancer.
Fixed. Who had control of Congress in 1999 when the Graham-Leach-Bliley Act was passed?
Also, what provisions played a role in the collapse? State in detail and cite your sources.
Nah you can show me that I'm wrong first and I'll respond teacher, also and I cannot stress this enough. I will not take you seriously until Bill Cosby isn't your avy anymore. Tells me alot about as a human
fukking incel
I've read that article before my guy and it quite literally supports my statement. Did you read it? Was this supposed to be some kind of gotcha moment?
The Short Answer:
The 1999 changes to Glass-Steagall led to much bigger banks, but that was, at best, just one factor in the 2008 financial crisis.
Yes, just one factor. Not THE whole cause of the 2008 collapse, like you tried to portray it as.
Let us no forget his repeal of Glass-Stegall which played a role in our economic collapse at the end of the Bush era. Woooo boy neoliberalism is cancer.
Hell of a way for everyone to find out you struggle with reading comprehension
My dude came in here eager to embarrass himself.
i dont view trump as the origin of these politics, just the culmination of it. much of his effect was what a normal republican would do (judges, taxes, etc.) but his commentary was louder than the usual republican dog whistling. he also didnt start a new warSeems like you're more forgiving of Trump than most. I could understand putting W and Reagan below him I guess, he's definitely worse than the first bush.
Outside of the Gulf War he barely did anything memorable positive or negative, the worst thing he did was probably producing Dubya. I think Trump is way worse simply because he had much more of a toxic impact on politics.
yeah, i may have been too generous. in his own time, the US economy was strong but the after effects were horrible. i think i probably should have dropped him to tier 2Clinton signed NAFTA, so that puts him in tier 3 or 4......even a tier 5 in my book.
Decided to go with eight since I doubt many people on here would remember anybody before Carter. Tentatively I'll go with -
Obama
Carter
Biden
Clinton
Bush
Bush II
Reagan
Trump
I might be ranking Carter too high since I wasn't around for his presidency, but from what I know he seemed decent by presidential standards. And yeah, I have Obama at #1, but it's less because I agree with everything he did and more that he was less bad than the competition.
Had a hard time deciding who was worse between Dubya, Reagan, and Trump.
Dubya didn't come off as racist as Trump or Reagan, but he probably got the most people killed with his BS war. Reagan on the other hand was smarter and did a lot of shyt that had negative effects on black and poor communities. Trump on the other hand didn't accomplish as much, but his MAGA garbage completely fukked up US politics and turned half the population into reactionary idiot conspiracy theorists.

if i count that, i have to count clinton's dishonest "wag the dog" cruise missile strike as a potential catalyst for something. ultimately, i just stuck to what happened instead of hypothetical war.Honestly I think Trump not starting a war is pure luck. That Solemani shyt could've easily gone south really fast had Iran responded differently.
If something like 9/11 happened during the Trump presidency I don't even want to imagine what Trump would try.
